1. Which CPU is intended to operate at a 66MHZ motherboard speed?

A. Intel 80486
B. Pentium 75
C. Pentium II 350
D. Pentium II 300
1
Answer: D

Explanation: The CPU speed must be a multiple of the bus speed. A 66MHz bus speed times 4.5 gives 300 MHz.
Incorrect Answers
A: No 486 processor had a bus speed of 66MHz: The maximum bus speed of a 486 processors is 33MHz.
B, C: Neither 75MHz and 350MHz are not dividable with 66MHz. The CPU speed must be a multiple of the bus speed. Pentium 75 works at 50Mhz bus speed.

5. Which of the following should be placed between a heatsink and a processor setting them in place?

A. Thermal grease.
B. Rubber cement.
C. Plastic plate.
D. Ceramic plate.
5
Answer: A
The surface of a CPU or a heatsink is never entirely flat; if you place a heatsink directly on a CPU, there will be tiny (invisible) gaps between the two. Since air conducts heat poorly, these gaps have a very negative effect on the heat transfer. Therefore, an interface material with a high thermal conductivity is needed to fill these gaps, and thus improve heat conductivity. The most commonly used interface material in the electronics cooling area is thermal

6. What would a failed processor fan most likely cause? (Choose two)

A. CPU damage
B. System lockups
C. Hard drive failure
D. Floppy drive failure
E. CD-ROM drive failure
6
Answer: A, B

Explanation: A failed processor fan would cause the CPU to overheat. This could damage the CPU or make the CPU work incorrectly which would cause system lockups.
Incorrect Answers
C: Hard drives have their own cooling and are not dependant on the CPU fan.
D: Floppy drives have no cooling.
E: CD-ROM drives do not depend on the CPU fan for cooling.

17. What is the memory contained inside the CPU called?

A. RAM
B. ROM
C. CACHE
D. VIRTUAL
17
Answer: C

Explanation: The CPU uses fast cache memory to improve speed.
Incorrect Answers
A: CPU does not contain RAM.
B: CPUs often contain micro-code. This micro-code is either hard-wired or stored in ROM. However, this ROM memory is not so well known. Therefore this alternative is not the best answer.
D: Virtual memory is logical memory, not physical memory.
