  3. The size and shape of motherboards or computer case. What is a form factor? Motherboard100

  4. Two types of the common form factors used for building computers. What are ATX, Mini-ATX, Micro-ATX, NLX, LPX, BTX? (Only two required for answer) Motherboard200

  5. The 24-pin connector serves this purpose for the mother board… What is deliver power? Motherboard300

  6. What does the chipset (Northbridge & Southbridge) do? What is communicate between the CPU and the rest of the motherboard? Motherboard400

  7. The Northbridge chip set controls these items. The speed and access at which the CPU can communicate with RAM and the videocard? Motherboard500

  8. Before buying this component, a technician should consider the case form factor and the total power requirement for the system components. What is a power supply? Main System100

  9. Power supplies often have this to allow PCs to be sold in different countries. What are voltage switches from 110v to 220v? Main System200

  10. Cache uses this type of memory to store data frequently needed by the CPU. What is SRAM? Main System300

  11. These are very important to consider when building a system to run virtual machines. What are RAM and number of CPU cores? Main System400

  12. How does the speed of the front side bus relate to the speed of DDR memory? What is the memory is generally two times faster (Double Data Rate) than the bus speed? Main System500

  13. This type of magnetic storage device for large files and operating systems is less reliable because it has moving parts and consumes more electricity. What is a HDD (Hard Disk Drive)? Storage100

  14. Two types of magnetic storage devices. What are Hard Disk Drives (HDD), Floppy Disk Drives (FDD), and Tape drives? Storage200

  15. Two reasons for upgrading to an SSD? What are reliability, performance and ability to withstand high g forces? Storage300

  16. Stacks of hard disk drives programmed to act as a single disk and protect against failure. What is a RAID?(Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) Storage400

  17. Hard drives and motors use this measurement for speed. What is RPM(Revolutions per Minute)? Storage500

  18. This type of memory retains its contents even when the computer is powered down (non-volatile). What is ROM? Components100

  19. Identify the following components: What are NIC, Wireless NIC, Graphics Adapter Card and CPU? Components200

  20. Name two of the pictured expansion slots. What are AGP, PCI and PCI-Express? Components300

  21. Upgrade this component to get the best performance boost for your system. What is RAM? Components400

  22. Type of adaptor card used to transfer a video signal to a computer. What is a video capture card? Components500

  23. Term used when measuring the number of pixels(width & length) on a computer monitor. What is resolution? e.g.: 1280x1024 Input/Output100

  24. Two most common output devices. What are the monitor and printer? Input/Output200

  25. Two most common input devices. What are keyboard and mouse (pointing device)? Input/Output300 Daily Double

  26. Input device often used to create images of families and pets. What are digital cameras? Input/Output400

  27. Output device that employs the use of polarizing filters with a liquid crystal solution between them. What is an LCD Monitor? Input/Output500

  28. SATA data cables have this many conductors. What is 7? Cables & More100 Daily Double

  29. This peripheral port uses the IEEE 1284 Standard and is often used to send data 8 bits at a time to printers. What is a parallel port? Cables & More200

  30. The legacy port pictured here is used for communications and sends one bit of data at a time. What is a serial port? (Also comes in 25-pin configuration) Cables & More300

  31. Feature for a USB cable not found in a serial cable. What is power to run external devices? Cables & More400

  32. The types of connectors for IEEE 1394a and IEEE 1394b. What are 6-pin or 4-pin for 1394a and 9-pin for 1394b? Cables & More500

  33. Features of RAID Levels 1, 5, & 0/1 Question: What are 1: Disk Mirroring, high performance, high cost 0/1: Combo of striping and mirroring, high performance and data protection, high cost 5: Combo of striping and parity, supports simultaneous requests, slower than 0 or 1 Final Jeopardy

  34. Input/Output 300Daily Double • Name of three additional input devices. • What are smart board, touchpad, scanner, web cam, microphone, etc.?
