What is a key characteristic of integrated graphics (iGPU) compared to a dedicated graphics card?

• iGPUs are generally more expensive but offer superior performance.

• iGPUs are designed for professional video editing only.

• iGPUs are cost-efficient but often provide weaker performance.

• iGPUs require a separate cooling fan, unlike dedicated cards.

How does RAM primarily differ from a Hard Drive in terms of data storage?

• RAM stores data permanently, while a Hard Drive stores data temporarily.

• RAM is used for long-term storage, whereas a Hard Drive is for short-term access.

• RAM provides quick access to data needed by the CPU but clears when the computer is off, unlike a Hard Drive which stores data long-term.

• RAM is a physical disk, while a Hard Drive is a memory stick.

What is a primary advantage of a Solid State Drive (SSD) over a traditional Hard Drive?

• SSDs are significantly slower but hold more data.

• SSDs are more durable and faster because they use memory chips instead of spinning disks.

• SSDs are only used in laptops, not desktop computers.

• SSDs are cheaper and less reliable than Hard Drives.
