RAM Quiz Pretest

Which of the following memory module form factors are used in laptop computers? (Select 2 answers)

• SODIMM

• ECC RAM

• DIMM

• MicroDIMM

• C-RIMM

Random Access Memory (RAM) is an example of volatile storage media. It requires a continuous flow of electricity to preserve its contents; therefore, all data stored in RAM lasts only while the power is on.

• True

• False

Which type of memory allows for permanent data storage?

• VRAM

• DVD-RAM

• Static RAM

• Buffered Memory

• DRAM

Which of the following is a special-purpose memory type used by graphics controllers?

• UDIMM

• Registered memory

• SRAM

• MicroDIMM

• VRAM

Placing a notch on a RAM module contact surface allows the module to be properly aligned with a memory bank on the motherboard and prevents the installation of incompatible memory types.

• True

• False

Which of the following are characteristic features of Static Random-Access Memory (SRAM)? (Select all that apply)

• Non-volatile storage media type

• Faster than Dynamic Random-Access Memory (DRAM)

• Widely used as system's primary storage media (regular RAM modules installed in memory slots on the motherboard)

• More expensive in comparison to Dynamic Random-Access Memory (DRAM)

Which of the following are characteristic features of Static Random-Access Memory (SRAM)? (Select all that apply)

• Slower than Dynamic Random-Access Memory (DRAM)

• Volatile storage media type

• Utilized for CPU cache memory chips

• Less expensive in comparison to Dynamic Random-Access Memory (DRAM)

The term "Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory (SDRAM)" encompasses a broad range of DRAM modules that rely on a signal sent by the system clock in order to synchronize the memory operation with other internal PC components.

• True
