8.

Which of these is not a CPU registry

a)

PC

b)

MAR

c)

MDR

d)

MCR

9.

What is the difference bewteen the MAR and MDR

a)

The MAR holds the memory address of the current instruction, and then the data that it uses, so that these can be fetched from memory, but MDR holds the instruction, then the data.

b)

The MAR holds the memory instruction and then the data that it uses, so that these can be fetched from memory, but MDR holds the memory address , then the data.
