Computer Quiz

[dinomite]

There have been a lot of quizzes posted here, and I haven't been able to do to well on them, so I thought I'd do one that I would win at

1. PC2100 DDR memory; what is the "2100" in reference to? How is that number derived?

2. A "50X" cd-rom drive (which one can assume is CAV) reads at what speed on the innermost portion of the disk? What does the "X" moniker mean? What company coined the term?

3. What does PCI stand for? AGP? ISA? AMR? CRT? (abbreviations are fun!)

4. How is a TCP connection establish (what is sent first)? What packet is sent to acknowledge the receipt of data? What flag for terminating the connection?

5. What socket did the Pentium Pro processor use? The normal Pentium?

6. Which way should the power supply fan blow (in or out) according to the original ATX specifications?

7. What is the name of the power plug that large devices use (hard drives, cd-roms, etc.)?

8. How many pins are in an ATA-33 IDE cable? How many conductors (wires)? What about ATA-66/100?


I hope someone has fun with that, I sure had fun writing it!
