Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To have a total of 1.5GB of RAM in three slots, we need to use a 1GB module and a 512MB module. Thus, option C is not possible because it populates all slots with 1GB modules. Option B will provide only 768MB of RAM (256MB x 3), which is less than what the customer wants. Option A uses a 64MB module, which is outdated and may not work well with newer modules. Therefore, option D is the best choice as it populates slot 1 with a 1GB module and slot 2 with a 512MB module. This leaves slot 3 empty, but it's not a problem as the customer's requirement of 1.5GB is met.
