82. Which is Faster? (Assume they are all INTEL)
(a)486DX4-120 Mhz (b)Pentium 120 Mhz (c)Pentium 100 Mhz

pentium 120. it has 2 integer pipelines and 1 fpu pipeline. 486 only has 1 integer pipeline and the fpu is crap. worst case scenario is that a pentium will perform the same clock for clock as a 486

IBM PC (8088 CPU)...IBM XT (8086 CPU)...IBM AT (aka IBM 286 AT)(80286 CPU)...IBM 386 (80386 CPU)...IBM 486...IBM 586 (aka Pentium)...

PCI slots are 32, but some server mobo's provide a 64-bit dual-PCI slot for RAID controllers.

Win95 is NOT 32 bit...it's 16 w/ a 32 bit shell.

15 pin on the back is VGA/SVGA or joystick. Serial is 9 or 25 pin, parallel is 25 pin.

Maximum RAM for 72 pin simms is not 1024, I'm thinking 128, although 256 or 512 would be better answers.

Conventional memory = 640K

98. It's Novell, not Novel.

Ooops, my age is showing!

15-pin can also be an ethernet port (thicknet).

(a)Apple (b)Microsoft (c)Xerox (d)Tandy Labs

Tandy! they make good compooters!

Nope. Unknown hero that first put an "Open/Closed" sign in his shopwindow


37. ISA slots typically transfer ___ bits.
(a)64 (b)16 (c)128 (d)4

16 bits

Per hour, that is!


44. How many RAM (SIMM) Banks (minimum) does it take for a classic Pentium to be satisfied?
(a)1 (b)2 (c)4 (d)None of these

4, you can only get 32MB SIMMS and you need at LEAST 128MB of RAM.

No, 2, with 4 they feel full and start passing gas


45. The recent Pentium (II/III) only require ___ RAM (SDRAM) memory modules to be satisfied.
(a)1 (b)2 (c)4 (d)None of these

None of these, a P3 is never satisfied

True, they just adore having those sticks shoved up their slots


58. Provide a metaphor or a simile for Cache on a processor?

useless rendundant hunk of crap on another piece of crap (were talking bout the C3 right?)

A wallet on a woman: Quick access to stuff that's needed very often?


72. How much Conventional RAM / Memory is there total on an IBM PC? ___

128 MB, at least thats what was standard in an aptiva last time I looked

0, as this species is extinct.

82. Which is Faster? (Assume they are all INTEL)
(a)486DX4-120 Mhz (b)Pentium 120 Mhz (c)Pentium 100 Mhz

P100 OCed to 200Mhz

The turtle


86. Windows 95 is primarily a ___ Bit Operating System.

PRIMARILY a 16 bit OS with a 32 bit shell

The underscore was misplaced. The answer was suppposed to read "is primarily a bit of an Operating System"


87. Win 3.11 has the acronym of (WFW). What does this stand for?

What the Fook is Wrong!

Windows For those who can Wait

92. The RISC Processor Chips are commonly seen in:
(a)Hard Drisk Drives (b)Pentium based computers (c)Printers

Not the pentiums

Toxic waste sites


100. What is the name (style or type) of the keyboard that we use today? ___

umm... Logitech cordless optical freedom?

One of those cute brandished wood ones with dwarf noses as key hooks


103. Which company first developed the Networking Concept and Model?
(a)Microsoft (b)3COM (c)Kingston (d)Xerox

Microsoft of course (.NET)

British Railway?
