7.7.5 Questions, Perfect Review (TestOut, L1 CIT)

Which tool would you use to configure the paging file location and size on a Windows system?

• Clock, Language, and Region in Control Panel

• Advanced System Settings in Control Panel

• Hardware and Sound in Control Panel

• Administrative Tools in Control Panel

Which aspects of virtual memory can you configure on a Windows workstation? (Select two.)

• The maximum time between memory swap operations

• The paging file's recommended size

• The minimum time between memory swap operations

• The paging file's location

You want to improve the performance of your virtual memory in Windows. Which of the following is a step you can take to do this?

• Configure the paging file to have an initial size of one half the physical RAM.

• Reboot your system.

• Install a larger CPU.

• Configure the paging file to be divided between two drives.

Which of the following is the generally accepted rule for manually setting the initial and maximum paging file size?

• One and a half times the size of the physical RAM for the initial size and three times for the maximum size.

• Two and a half times the size of the physical RAM for the initial size and four and a half times for the maximum size.

• Three times the size of physical RAM for the initial size and five times for the maximum size.

• Double the size of the physical RAM for the initial size and quadruple for the maximum size.

• Install a larger CPU.

• Reboot the system at the first indication of the problem.

• Install more physical RAM.

• Configure a larger paging file on the HHD.

What happens in Windows when physical RAM is being used to its full capacity and a user runs a new application?

• The VMM divides the data from each app to different hard drives.

• Windows crashes.

• The kernel moves the data from an app not currently being accessed from RAM to a paging file.

• The CPU sends an error code to the user.

Which of the following is another name for the paging file?

• Random access memory

• Virtual memory

• Upper memory

• Extended memory

• Set the paging file's initial size to 8 GB.

• Remove the paging file from the C: volume.

• Add paging files to the E: and F: volumes.

• Set the paging file's maximum size to 32 GB.

Answer explanation

You can sometimes achieve a modest increase in system performance by adding paging files to other storage devices in your system. This offloads some of the paging file work to a disk other than to the system volume.

With the amount of system RAM installed on this computer, creating a larger paging file or increasing its initial size probably won't increase system performance.

Generally speaking, you should keep a paging file on the system volume. Without it, Windows can't create a dump file if the system crashes.

• On the system volume

• On a drive other than where the operating system files are stored

• On a USB flash device

• Split between two storage devices

Which of the following is simulated memory that is created through a paging file on the hard drive?

• RAM

• Disk thrashing

• VMM

• Virtual memory
