Question 1

Which motherboard slot has direct access to the North Bridge?&#10;A) secondary PCIe slot&#10;B) ATA bus slot&#10;C) Firewire&#10;D) primary PCIe slot

Accepted Answer

The primary PCIe slot is directly connected to the North Bridge, providing the fastest and most efficient data transfer.

Question 2

What was the 64-bit Front Side Bus replaced with in the X58 (Nehalem) chipset?&#10;A) FSB&#10;B) PCIe&#10;C) QPI&#10;D) ICH

Accepted Answer

The 64-bit Front Side Bus was replaced with the QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) in the X58 (Nehalem) chipset. This allowed for higher bandwidth and lower latency communication between the CPU and other system components.

Question 3

Which Intel CPU socket is discontinued?&#10;A) Socket 478&#10;B) LGA1155&#10;C) LGA2011&#10;D) Socket H

Question 4

What was the AGP bus designed specifically for?&#10;A) CPU sockets&#10;B) disk controllers&#10;C) memory slots&#10;D) video cards

Accepted Answer

The AGP bus was designed specifically for video cards, providing a faster and more direct connection between the video card and the CPU than the PCI bus.

Question 5

Which of the following represents a method for accessing the BIOS setup program?&#10;A) boot Windows and go to Control Panel&#10;B) set a motherboard jumper and start the computer&#10;C) press a key during the BIOS POST&#10;D) boot to the BIOS setup floppy disk

Accepted Answer

Pressing a key during the BIOS POST (Power On Self Test) is the most common method for accessing the BIOS setup program. This key is often displayed on the screen during startup, and it varies depending on the motherboard and BIOS manufacturer. Setting a motherboard jumper or booting to a BIOS setup floppy disk are more uncommon methods and may not be applicable to all systems. Booting into Windows and going to Control Panel is not a method for accessing the BIOS setup program.

Question 6

Typically, PGA sockets give better contact than LGA sockets.

Accepted Answer

LGA (Land Grid Array) sockets typically provide better contact than PGA (Pin Grid Array) sockets because the pins are on the socket itself, allowing for more pins (and thus better connectivity) in a given area, and reducing the risk of bending pins during CPU installation.

Question 7

Sandy Bridge processors house the memory controller and graphics controller.

Accepted Answer

This is a true statement. The memory controller and graphics controller are integrated into the Sandy Bridge processor architecture, providing improved performance and efficiency.

Question 8

What unit is used to measure the frequency of memory, FSB, and the processor?&#10;A) bps&#10;B) mph&#10;C) Hz&#10;D) MIPS

Accepted Answer

The unit used to measure the frequency of memory, FSB, and the processor is Hertz (Hz). Bps (bits per second) is used to measure data transfer rates, mph (miles per hour) is used to measure speed, and MIPS (millions of instructions per second) is used to measure the processing speed of a computer's CPU. Therefore, the best choice is C - Hz.

Question 9

Which of the following is the smallest motherboard form factor?&#10;A) MicroATX&#10;B) FlexATX&#10;C) MicroBTX&#10;D) NLX

Accepted Answer

FlexATX is the smallest form factor among the options listed. It is a subset of the ATX specification designed for small form factor PCs, making it smaller than MicroATX, MicroBTX, and NLX.

Question 10
