Buses Review Exercises

  • The parts of a motherboard that will determine the types of memory you can install include

    1. No. These items are not really pertinent to memory.

    2. No. Expansion & bus are not memory related.
    3. No. The cpu only relates to memory in the amount of memory it can address, not the quantity you can put in.

    4. Correct! The memory slots, chip set, and BIOS are the prime factors. With some chipsets you can only have 128MB, others allow 512MB, and the Micronics Stingray motherboard allows up to 1GB memory. The type and number of memory slots (SIMM, DIMM) also control how much memory you can install.
