Which of the following is not a requirement for a graphic design workstation?
- A.Fast hard drive
- B.Maximum RAM
- C.Powerful CPU
- D.High-end video
- Answer & Explanation
- Report
Answer : [A]
Explanation :
Explanation :
| Graphics design and CAD/CAM design workstations do not require a fast hard drive because the artist works with static images that do not stream from the drive. However, RAM in which to hold the highly detailed, sometimes 3D artwork before saving, a powerful processor for implementing complex algorithms on a small amount of information during rendering, and high-end video for assisting in the rendering and display of the images are necessary. |

Which of the following is required when constructing an A/V editing workstation?
- A.Gigabit NIC
- B.Powerful processor
- C.Maximum RAM
- D.Fast hard drive
- Answer & Explanation
- Report
Answer : [D]
Explanation :
Explanation :
| A/V editing workstations require specialized audio and video cards and large and fast hard drives and benefit from dual monitors. A fast NIC, extra RAM, and a faster than normal processor do not support the requirements of A/V editors. |

Why do virtualization workstations require as many CPU cores as possible?
- A.Each virtual machine has one or more cores installed directly in it.
- B.Each virtual machine makes use of actual CPU resources for processing instructions and data.
- C.Fault tolerance dictates that if one CPU core fails, there should be one or more in line to take its place.
- D.Because each guest operating system runs in its own space, multiple cores are required to store the collective data.
- Answer & Explanation
- Report
Answer : [B]
Explanation :
Explanation :
| Virtual machines do not imply virtual processing. The data storage, processing cycles, and RAM usage are all real. The separate hard drive and chassis for each operating system are virtual. The other answers all have at least one fundamental problem with their logic. CPU cores are not installed in virtual machines but in CPU packages within physical machines. CPU cores do not take over for each other. There is no fault tolerance among them. Storing data is the job of RAM, which should also be maximized for virtualization workstations. |

Why is high-end cooling a requirement for gaming PCs?
- A.Gaming PCs tend to overclock their CPUs and run multiple high-performance GPUs.
- B.Gaming controllers have components for tactile realism that generate copious amounts of heat.
- C.Digital sound cards generate more heat than analog sound cards.
- D.Placing that many hard drives in such a small space generates too much heat.
- Answer & Explanation
- Report
Answer : [A]
Explanation :
Explanation :
| The processors found in a gaming PC are many, and the CPU is often overclocked. Such a configuration generates too much heat for conventional cooling to dissipate before the system is damaged. These machines don’t have unusual hard-drive requirements. The cooling has no effect on external controllers, and sound cards don’t generate much heat, but analog would certainly generate more than digital. |

Which of the following is not a common requirement of a home theater PC?
- A.Surround sound
- B.HDMI
- C.Micro-ATX case
- D.TV tuner
- Answer & Explanation
- Report
Answer : [C]
Explanation :
Explanation :
| Home theater PCs are based on the mini-ITX motherboard and have their own form factor, HTPC, a more compact form factor than chassis made for micro-ATX boards. |
