- 20This component is like the brain of the computer. It fetches data from the memory to process.F - CPU
The CPU completes something called the "fetch decode execute cycle". This simply means that it fetches data, decodes it (calculations) and then executes it (does something with it). - 21This is used to store the data and programs currently being used by the computer.A - RAM
Your computer gets slower when this is full because it has to use "virtual RAM" from the hard drive. - 22This is used to store all of your programs, files and your operating system (e.g. Windows)D) Hard Drive
- 23The data on the RAM is deleted when the computer is switched off.True
Yes, this is known as "volatile data". - 24The data on the hard drive is deleted when the computer is switched off.False
- 25Which type of data storage has the fastest data transfer speed?A) Solid state storage device
- 26Which type of storage will you get more storage space for you money?B - Magnetic Storage
Magnetic is what we call "cost effective" because you get more storage space for your money. However the disadvantage is that it has a slower data transfer speed. - 27Which storage device is the most portable?C - Optical Storage
Optical is the most portable.
An example is that we put films on DVDs as they are easier to transport from one place to another to use. They can be used in a DVD player, PC, laptop and some gaming consoles. - 28Which storage device has the smallest amount of storage space?C - Optical Storage
Hence why 1 blank DVD is so cheap! - 29Which type of storage would you most likely have in a smart phone?A - Solid state storage
Solid state does not have moving parts, therefore it is less likely to break when dropped. If only our phone screens were the same! - 30Which type of storage would you expect to buy a movie on?C) Optical Storage
- 31Which type of storage would you expect to find in a more affordable PC?B) Magnetic Storage
- 32Your hard drive affects the speed of you computer.True
Yes. Solid state hard drives transfer data at a much higher speed, therefore data is loaded into the RAM and fetched by the CPU much quicker! - 33CPU stands for...C) Central processing unit
- 34RAM stands for...B) Random access memory
- 35Which of the following is the cheapest way of improving the speed of a PC?C - Upgrading the RAM so more data/programs can be used at the same time.
RAM is the cheapest option, with the solid state upgrade being second. Upgrading the processor would improve the speed; however it is more expensive. - 36You buy a CPU which is measured at 3GHz. This measurement is known as...B) The clock speed
- 37In theory, how many fetch-decode-execute cycles will a 3GHz be able to do per second?D - 3 billion
1KHz =1 thousand cycles per second
1MHz = 1 million cycles per second
1GHz = 1 billion cycles per second
