Lab Report 2.4

1.	What is the function of the I/O address?
2.	What is the advantage of DDR SDRAM over SDRAM?
3.	Why are some peripherals assigned an area of memory addresses?
4.	What is the path to the System Information dialog box for Windows 2000?

Answers

1.	The CPU uses the I/O address to send information to a peripheral device.
2.	DDR SDRAM transfers data two times for each clock cycle; SDRAM transfers data once per clock cycle. Therefore, DDR SDRAM is twice as fast.
3.	This gives exclusive control of that area of memory to that device. A memory conflict is created if any other device tries to use the same memory area.
4.	Start Programs Accessories System Tools System Information in Windows 2000.
