Question 7

ECC type RAM:

Answer 7

Can detect and correct errors

Question 8

Certain types of RAM take advantage of an additional bit in order to detect whether a data error has occurred. An extra bit is used to store information about the number of bits set to the value of one in a given string of data (typically one byte) and by examining that information at different stages of processing it is possible to detect whether the data has been corrupted or not. What is the name of that extra bit?

Answer 8

Parity bit

Question 9

Compared to a non-ECC type of memory, the ECC RAM is a less expensive option and will always perform faster.

Answer 9

False

Question 12

Taking advantage of the performance benefits offered by the multi-channel memory architecture requires:

Answer 12

Memory modules of matching types
Memory modules of matching speeds
Memory modules of the same capacity
Installing modules in appropriate memory slots (slots of matching color) on the motherboard

Question 13

A type of typically more expensive memory modules equipped with additional circuitry designed to ensure better system stability and accuracy of data processing is known as:

Answer 13
