TANGIBLE PRELIM PRAC

RIMM modules house:

• SDRAM

• RDRAM (legacy)

• NVMe

• SRAM

PCI (parallel, shared bus) is now mostly:

• Legacy

• Current standard for GPUs

• Only for NVMe

• Replacing PCIe

Which are motherboard form factors?(bka ichange mamaya)

• ATX

• DIMM

• Micro-ATX

• LPX

CF-PGA (Flip-Chip PGA) positions the chip:

• On the same side as pins

• On the opposite side for performance/thermal benefits

• 
  On a removable cartridge

• Inside a DIMM

S-Video primarily carries what signal?

• Digital video + audio

• 
  Analog video only

• Analog audio only

• Network data

Synchronous memory (e.g., SDRAM/DDR):

• 
  Operates independently of the clock

• Aligns operations to the system clock pulses

• Exists only on GPUs

• Is slower than classic asynchronous DRAM

ISA is best described as:

• 
  A legacy expansion bus now obsolete

• 
  A modern storage protocol

• A USB standard

• 
  A RAM pinout

Asynchronous memory:

• Always synchronized to the clock

• Independent timing; CPU waits for ready signal

• Only in SSDs

• Only in registers

PCIe replaced AGP for modern GPUs.

• true

• false

Synchronous memory aligns operations to clock pulses.

• true

• false
