Computer BUSES Review

1. The current most used bus on an Intel Based PC is the _____ bus.
   1. ISA
   2. PCI
   3. EISA
   4. VESA

2. The primary factors which make a ISA expansion bus less popular than an VESA or PCI bus are
   1. Speed and bus width (in bits).
   2. the ISA slows the total performance.
   3. the ISA can transfer at a maximum of 8 MB/s.
   4. All the above are true.

3. The one item for which you want support for future enhancements in you PC at work and at home is
   1. ISA expansion slots.
   2. EISA expansion slots.
   3. Universal Serial Bus (USB).
   4. Multi-Media Extensions.

4. If you have a PCI Local Bus and an integrated ISA bus, the ISA bus must interface to and be controlled by the
   1. CPU.
   2. PCI Local Bus Controller.
   3. VESA Local Bus Controller.
   4. Master Bus Controller.

5. Which of the bollowing is a 32-bit bus, capable of interfacing to a system bus with a 33MHz speed?
   1. ISA bus.
   2. EISA bus.
   3. VESA Local Bus.
   4. None of the above.

6. A motherboard with a "Single Edge Contact (S.E.C)" microprocessor (CPU) slot can accept a ________ microprocessor.
   1. AMD K5
   2. Pentium II
   3. Pentium Pro
   4. Cyrix M2
   5. All of the above.

7. The parts of a motherboard that will determine the types of memory you can install include
   1. expansion slots, cpu, and cache.
   2. memory slots, expansion slots, and bus type.
   3. memory slots, cpu, and BIOS.
   4. memory slots, chip set, and BIOS.

8. A 486 Intel based motherboard will not have
   1. 200MHz CPU speed
   2. DIMM memory slots
   3. Single Edge Contact CPU slot
   4. all of the above.

9. Which of the following BUS architecture can operate at a system bus speed of 66MHz?
   1. VESA
   2. PCI
   3. EISA
   4. ISA

10. The part of the motherboard which determines the type of "cards" you can insert is the
    1. type of expansion slots you have.
    2. the BIOS.
    3. type of device controllers you have - IDE or SCSI.
    4. serial or parallel ports.
