Which type of system simply needs to run standard versions of Windows and desktop
applications?
- A.Thin client
- B.Thick client
- C.Home server PC
- D.Virtualization workstation
- Answer & Explanation
- Report
Answer : [B]
Explanation :
Explanation :
| Thick clients are standard desktop PCs. They stand in contrast to systems with specialized requirements, such as the remaining options. |
47.
Which of the following descriptions most closely matches that of a thin client?
- A.A high-resolution monitor, keyboard, and mouse
- B.A computer with a low-profile case
- C.A laptop
- D.A dumb terminal with a NIC
- Answer & Explanation
- Report
Answer : [D]
Explanation :
Explanation :
| Although not all thin clients are devoid of local processing capability, some are. Highresolution graphics are not a requirement of thin clients, but even such systems require a system unit with a NIC. |

Why should you equip a home server PC with a gigabit NIC?
- A.All systems, including the server, should communicate at the same speed.
- B.The server should not be allowed to communicate at the higher speeds of the rest of the network or it will be overused.
- C.The server should exceed the communication speed of the clients to avoid a bottleneck.
- D.The operating system home servers run is not compatible with Fast Ethernet.
- Answer & Explanation
- Report
Answer : [C]
Explanation :
Explanation :
| Optimally, the server should communicate across a link that is the aggregate of all client links, but at the least, the server’s link should be a faster one to alleviate the potential bottleneck when all clients try to access the server simultaneously. |

Which of the following reasons justifies having a powerful processor in a CAD/CAM workstation?
- A.Only powerful processors can stream graphical information efficiently.
- B.Manufacturing equipment is generally faster than design equipment, which needs faster processors to keep up.
- C.Graphics adapters used in CAD/CAM do not have their own processors, so the CPU performs this job as well.
- D.The algorithms used in rendering graphics can be processor intensive.
- Answer & Explanation
- Report
Answer : [D]
Explanation :
Explanation :
| Quite simply, the rendering of 2D and 3D graphics makes use of complex algorithms that need all the processing power they can get to remain usable. These stations deal with static images, not streaming video. Manufacturing equipment is generally slower than computers used for the design phase. These workstations call for high-end video, which includes graphics adapters with GPUs often more powerful than the system’s CPU. |

Why do A/V editing workstations benefit from more than one monitor?
- A.Their software often has enough controls across their width that one monitor seems cramped.
- B.While one graphics adapter works on one rendering project, the other can simply display a normal desktop.
- C.Once the editing is complete, the second monitor is used to present the results to others on the team.
- D.Additional monitors are used for remote collaboration among other editors.
- Answer & Explanation
- Report
Answer : [A]
Explanation :
Explanation :
| Editors of this type of media have numerous controls and timelines to keep track of. These constructs often lie along the bottom of the application and run horizontally. Subsequent monitors allow the editor to spread out without shrinking the view excessively. |
