Question

DDR had twice the throughput of SDRAM at the same system clock speed due to the ability to clock two words per clock cycle, one on the rising edge and one on the falling edge of the clock. DDR2 doubles the throughput of DDR by _____.

Clock doubling the input/output circuits on the chips within the DDR2 module

Doubling the width of the data bus from 32 bits to 64 bits

Doubling the buffer size used by DDR

Increasing the voltage used

DDR3 increased the throughput from that of DDR2 by _____.

Clock doubling the input/output circuits on the chips within the DDR3 module

Doubling the width of the data bus from 64 bits to 128 bits

Doubling the buffer size from that used by DDR2

Increasing the voltage used

Match the voltage to that used by the correct type of RAM.

SDRAM            1.2 V

DDR                 1.5 V

DDR2               3.3 V

DDR3               2.5 V   

DDR4               1.8 V

In order to take advantage of dual-channel memory, an equal number of modules must be used on each channel and there must be the same amount of memory installed in each channel.

You are looking at two DDR3 DIMMs. One of them indicates “CL8” on the label and the other indicates “CL6.” These numbers refer to the RAM’s ______.

Transfer speed

Latency

Words per clock cycle

Error recovery capability

Parity and ECC memory are typically found in critical mission machines such as bank servers. Both are able to detect and correct errors.

Virtual memory involves the use of storage devices (hard drive or SSD) supplementing a deficiency in the amount of installed RAM. Which two of the following refer to the storage location used for virtual memory?

Page file

Swap file

VM file

Pipe file

System file

Explain what “disk thrashing” is.

A feature that allows the use of flash media for virtual memory is called _____.

Virtualization

ReadyBoost

RAMdrive

WarpDrive

RIMM

ECC

SPD

In systems that use virtual memory, the resulting condition of a hard drive being used excessively for virtual memory because the physical memory (i.e., RAM) is full.

Disk thrashing considerably slows down the performance of a system because data has to be transferred back and forth from the hard drive to the physical memory.
