INTRODUCTION OF COMPUTER QUIZ 1

Which characteristic describes EPROM?

• RAM that is internal and integrated into the CPU

• A chip that is non-volatile and can be erased by exposing it to strong ultraviolet light

• A small circuit board that holds several memory chips and has a 30- or 72-pin configuration

• A smaller, more condensed memory module that provides random access data storage, ideal for use in laptops, printers, and other devices where conserving space is desirable

Which activity are normally controlled by the Northbridge part of the chipset?

• Access to the RAM

• Connected between the CPU and the I/O ports

•   Communication between the CPU and the hard drive

• Communication between the CPU and the sound card
