Answers

1.	Correct Answers = A and C The AMD Athlon and the AMD K6 are valid AMD processors. Intel developed the Celeron processor. K9 is used as a description for police dogs.
2.	Correct Answer = C The Intel Pentium II 300 runs at 66MHz motherboard speed. See Table 16.1 for a Pentium II processor and motherboard speed comparison.
3.	Correct Answer = A The Pentium II 350MHz through the Pentium III series processors are intended to run at 100MHz motherboard bus speed.
4.	Correct Answers = B and D If your processor fan has failed or malfunctioned, your system may lock up or “halt” and your processor may suffer irreversible damage due to overheating.
5.	Correct Answer = B The AMD Duron processor was developed for midrange workstations.
6.	Correct Answer = D An antistatic ESD bag will protect your processor as well as other electronic computer components from electrostatic discharge.
7.	Correct Answer = D If you are considering upgrading your processor, it is a must that you consult both the processor and motherboard manufacturer’s instructions regarding the specific voltage requirements for your new processor’s core and I/O functions. You may need to add a VRM depending upon the voltage requirement of your new processor.
8.	Correct Answer = D The L3 cache addition to newer processors has dramatically increased the speed at which a processor, or dual processors, can access stored information. This, in turn, provides better processor support for overall application access speed and system support.
9.	Correct Answers = A and B Both Pentium 4 and Celeron’s latest incarnation use socket 478. The Duron uses both Socket A and Slot A technology, and the Pentium 3 uses either Slot 1 or Socket 370 technology.
10.	Correct Answer = B The first Pentium 4s were enabled with 256K of L2 cache, which has since been updated to 512K.
11.	Correct Answers = A and C A liquid cooling system requires a radiator (with fan to help dissipate heat from the radiator), tubing, water reservoir, and a water block (which acts as a sort of heat sink for the processor, that water flows through a radiator/fan and a water block). The water block as the primary cooling device replaces a heat sink/fan combination for the CPU in a liquid cooling setup. While a water filter sounds good in theory, the water/coolant must be changed out routinely to avoid algae/mineral deposits. Figure 1.1: A typical PC system. Figure 2.13: Jumpers and microswitches.
