#1. Steve adds a second 8-GB 288-pin DIMM to his PC, which should bring the total RAM in the system up to 16 GB. The PC has an Intel Core i7 4-GHz processor and four 288-pin DIMM slots on the motherboard. When he turns on the PC, however, only 8 GB of RAM shows up in Windows Settings app. Which of the following is most likely to be the problem?

Steve failed to seat the RAM properly.

Steve put DDR4 in a DDR3 slot.

The CPU cannot handle 16 GB of RAM.

The motherboard can use only one RAM slot at a time.

#2. Scott wants to add 8 GB of PC3-12800 DDR3 to an aging but still useful desktop system. The system has a 200-MHz motherboard and currently has 4 GB of non-ECC DDR3 RAM in the system. What else does he need to know before installing?

What speed of RAM he needs

What type of RAM he needs

How many pins the RAM has

If the system can handle that much RAM.

#3. What is the primary reason that DDR4 RAM is faster than DDR3 RAM?

The core speed of the DDR4 RAM chips is faster.

The input/output speed of the DDR4 RAM is faster.

DDR3 RAM is dual-channel and DDR4 RAM is quad-channel.

DDR3 RAM uses 240-pin DIMMs and DDR4 uses 288-pin DIMMs.

#4. What is the term for the delay in the RAM’s response to a request from the MCC?

Variance

MCC gap

Latency

Fetch interval

#5. How does an NMI manifest on a Windows system?

Blue Screen of Death.

Spinning Pinwheel of Death.

Interrupt of death.

NMIs only happen on macOS systems.

#6. Silas has an AMD-based motherboard with two sticks of DDR3 RAM installed in two of the three RAM slots, for a total of 8 GB of system memory. When he runs CPU-Z to test the system, he notices that the software claims he’s running single-channel memory. What could be the problem? (Select the best answer.)

His motherboard only supports single-channel memory.

His motherboard only supports dual-channel memory with DDR2 RAM, not DDR3.

He needs to install a third RAM stick to enable dual-channel memory.

He needs to move one of the installed sticks to a different slot to activate dual-channel memory.

#7. Which of the following Control Panel applets will display the amount of RAM in your PC?

System

Devices and Printers

Device Manager

Action Center

#8. What is the best way to determine the total capacity and specific type of RAM your system can handle?

Check the motherboard book.

Open the case and inspect the RAM.

Check the Device Manager.

Check the System utility in the Control Panel.

#9. Gregor installed a third stick of known good RAM into his Core i7 system, bringing the total amount of RAM up to 12 GB. Within a few days, though, he started having random lockups and reboots, especially when doing memory-intensive tasks such as gaming. What is most likely the problem?

Gregor installed DDR2 RAM into a DDR3 system.

Gregor installed DDR3 RAM into a DDR4 system.

Gregor installed RAM that didn’t match the speed or quality of the RAM in the system.

Gregor installed RAM that exceeded the speed of the RAM in the system.

#10. Cindy installs a second stick of DDR4 RAM into her Core i5 system, bringing the total system memory up to 16 GB. Within a short period of time, though, she begins experiencing Blue Screens of Death. What could the problem be?

She installed faulty RAM.

The motherboard could only handle 12 GB of RAM.

The motherboard needed dual-channel RAM.

There is no problem. Windows always does this initially, but gets better after crashing a few times.
