What is the primary difference between DRAM and SRAM based on their functionality?

DRAM uses a transistor and a capacitor to store bits.

SRAM uses a transistor and a capacitor to store bits.

DRAM uses multiple capacitors to store information.

What is the primary difference between Static RAM (SRAM) and Dynamic RAM (DRAM) in terms of data storage technology?

DRAM uses a capacitor to store each bit of data.

SRAM uses a single transistor to store each bit of data.

SRAM requires constant refreshing of data.

DRAM uses ten transistors per memory cell.

Why is Static RAM (SRAM) more expensive compared to Dynamic RAM (DRAM)?

SRAM provides less memory per chip and occupies more space.

SRAM is slower and uses more power.

SRAM uses fewer transistors which are more costly.

DRAM is synchronized with the CPU clock.

What is the main disadvantage of Dynamic RAM (DRAM) compared to Static RAM (SRAM)?

DRAM is slower because it needs to be refreshed constantly.

DRAM cannot store data permanently.

What is the primary function of Error Correction Code (ECC) in DRAM?

To detect and correct errors on the fly

To double the processing speed of DRAM

To increase the memory capacity of DRAM

To reduce the power consumption of DRAM

What is the main advantage of SDRAM over traditional DRAM?

It coordinates more efficiently with the CPU and memory

What is used to identify different revisions of DDR SDRAM?

The location of the notch on the RAM stick

The number of chips on the RAM stick

What is the primary use of Video RAM (VRAM)?

To assist in rendering images for display

To maintain the memory contents with a battery

To store data for quick access by the CPU

What is a major memory failure in computer systems primarily caused by?

Non-Maskable Interrupt or General Protection Fault

What does BSOD stand for in computer terminology?

Background System Operation Data

What is the significance of clock speed in CPU performance?

It is the speed at which the CPU can execute instructions.

It determines the size of the CPU cache.

It controls the power consumption of the computer.

It indicates the number of cores in the CPU.

What is the primary function of a motherboard in a desktop computer?

To provide the main circuit board and interconnections for all necessary parts and peripherals.

To supply power to the computer.

To display visual output to the monitor.

What is the primary purpose of the Northbridge on a motherboard?

To provide a high-speed interface between the CPU and high speed devices like RAM and video graphics adapter

To provide a high-speed interface between the CPU and low speed devices like USB controllers

To serve as the interface between the CPU and input/output devices like the keyboard and hard drive

To control power consumption and fan operation in the motherboard
