Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Connects the processor to cache.






2. Continues to operate when one of its components fails - ensuring that no data is lost






3. A communications device that enables a computer or device that does not have a built in networking capability to access a network






4. Where ram resides - a small circuit board (RIMM - SIMM - DIMM)






5. A program that displays an online advertisement in a pop up. spyware can be hidden in adware






6. Internet teephony- enables users to speak to other users over the internet






7. Anopening inside the system unit in which you can install additional equipment. Different than a slot

9. Network attached storage is a server connected to a network with the sole purpose of providing storage. often use RAID configuration






10. Does not lose its contents when power is turned off (permanent - ROM - flash memory - CMOS)






11. Really simple syndication is a specification that many content aggregatorsuse to distribute content to subscribers






12. A personal computer you can carry from place to place






13. A know specific pattern of virus code.






14. Occurs when the incoming electrical power increases. Can cause immediate and permanent damage to hardware






15. Small program that tells the operating system how to communicate with a specific device
