  3. The size and shape of motherboards or computer case. What is a form factor? Motherboard100

  4. Two types of the common form factors used for building computers. What are ATX, Mini-ATX, Micro-ATX, NLX, LPX, BTX? Motherboard200

  5. Two characteristics determined by the motherboard chip set. What are the maximum RAM and connector types? Motherboard300

  6. Type of CPU instruction set with smaller instruction designed to be executed rapidly. What is RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing)? Motherboard400

  7. The Northbridge chip set controls these items. The speed and access at which the CPU can communicate with RAM and the videocard? Motherboard500

  8. This type of memory retains its contents even when the computer is powered down (non-volatile). What is ROM? (Read Only Memory)? Main System100

  9. A request from a device for communication with the CPU. What is an IRQ? (Interrupt Request) Main System200

  10. Cache uses this type of memory to store data frequently needed by the CPU. What is SRAM? Main System300

  11. The type of ROM that can be flashed or changed while in the computer. What is EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory)? Main System400

  12. System resources used to communicate between the CPU and other components. What are DMA, IRQs and I/O addresses? Main System500

  13. Type of writeable optical storage device which holds about 4.3GB of data. What is a DVD-R+/-? Potpourri100

  14. Term used when measuring the number of dots (width & lenth) on a computer monitor. What is screen resolution? EX: 640x480 Potpourri200

  15. Type of CPU with a variable length instruction set. What is CISC (Complicated Instruction Set Computing)? Potpourri300

  16. Type of storage device which uses non-volatile chips instead of a spinning disk. What is a SSD (Solid State Drive)? Potpourri400

  17. Hard drives and motors use this measurement for speed. What is RPM(Revolutions per Minute)? Potpourri500

  18. Newest type of expansion slot used for data intensive needs such as video, hi-speed storage, etc. What is PCI-Express? (Peripheral Component Interconnect – Express) Components100

  19. These types of storage devices are less reliable because they have moving parts and consume more electricity. What is a HDD(Hard Disk Drive)? Components200

  20. Redundant hard disks drives programmed to act as a single disk and protect against failure. What is a RAID? (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) Components300

  21. Newest and fastest type of RAM. What is DDR3? Components400

  22. Type of adaptor card used to transfer a video signal to a computer. What is a video capture card? Components500

  23. Two output devices for sound. What are speakers and headphones? Input/Output100

  24. Two most common output devices. What are the monitor and printer? Input/Output200

  25. Two most common input devices. What are keyboard and mouse (pointing device)? Input/Output300

  26. Input device often used to create images of families and pets. What are digital cameras? Input/Output400

  27. Output device that employs the use of polarizing filters with a liquid crystal solution between them. What is an LCD Monitor? Input/Output500

  28. SATA data cables have this many conductors. What is 7? Extra 100 points for the power connector. Cables & More100

  29. This type of data cable can have either 40 or 80 conductor wires. What is PATA or EIDE? Cables & More200

  30. The maximum length of the cable pictured here. What is 50 feet? (Serial Cable) Cables & More300

  31. Feature for a USB cable not found in a serial cable. What is power to run the external devices? Cables & More400

  32. The types of connectors for IEEE 1394a and IEEE 1394b. What are 6-pin or 4-pin for 1394a and 9-pin for 1394b? Cables & More500

  33. Features of RAID Levels 1, 3, & 0/1 Question: What are 1: Disk Mirroring, high performance, high cost 3: Byte-level data striping, doesn’t support simultaneous requests. 0/1: Combo of striping and parity, supports simultaneous requests, slower than 0 or 1 Final Jeopardy
