Computer test Part 1

[OPPAINTER]

All right guys I have some questions for you certified Gurus. Not sure if I sould post this Overclocking, you Overclockers might not be the sharpest in the bunch:D Just kidding, I know you guys are smart:D
I have about 5 more pages to go after this so lets get a move on:D
As far as #9, here is answer C & D
C: fragmented
D: disbursed

Easy stuff guys, knock yourself out:D
Thanks,
OPP

[PiLsY]

That first question is crap m8 as you can set how big the cluster size is on your hdd. Default is 512 though if im not mistaken...

Anyway,

2)b
3)d
4)a
5)a
6)c
7)a
8)c
9)a (fragmented actually - hence disk defragmenting ;))

That all you got for tonight m8?

PiLsY.

What to do what to do:D All right, we need a third party to check these buggers out. I gues I can give it a shot.

OPP

[OPPAINTER]

2 is D

OPP

[TheDude]

Grrrr... yeah now that you mention it! lol How about the rest? Feel pretty sure except for 2 and maybe 3?

[OPPAINTER]

The rest are good, except I'm still trying to find 3, and I'm not sure about 7.

1 C http://www.firmware.com/support/bios/hdmath.htm
2 D http://www.scsita.org/aboutscsi/SCSI_Termination_Tutorial.html#Table1
3 B see above
4 A http://www.its.unimelb.edu.au/InfoSheets/InfoSheet_130.html
5 D
6 D ,yet MBR is the master boot record (why confuse?)
7 C http://members.aol.com/don5408/drivespace/part_fat32.html
8 C
9 Fragmented

[Charles Wirth]

fdisk /MBR is a command and maybe the use of MBR is meant to confuse. but look how the question is worded is why I went with D on question 6

[TheDude]

OPP, I'm pretty sure about 7
Fugger, yeah kinda a trick question, but I bet they are looking for MBR.
The trick is not so much giving the correct answer, but the answer they want, often 2 different things entirely. These tests don't really test your know how, more like testing your ability to take tests.:D
I have to step out for a bit, but will check back later, kinda fun when your'e not the one getting graded!;)

I can see that, the key word in the Question is "A" I think. If they would have used the word "The" then MBR would have worked better.

18-?

Kinda weak in the SCSI area, also not positive about #13.:D

OPP 17 =2? you mean B?or A? :D

[OPPAINTER]

17 I would say A

[OPPAINTER]

looks like 12,13 and 18 are if'y.

Dude your 12, a disk cache is on a Hard drive not a Area in Ram, I think.

[Charles Wirth]

10 A
11 A
12 D
13 D
14 B
15 D
16 D
17 A
18 A

[Charles Wirth]

#12

disk cache is used for teporary storage of data being read or written to the hard disk.

Ram Disk is using ram to vreate a virtual disk, "speed up access time" could apply here but disk cache also speeds up access times.

can go both ways the way it is worded.

#13 a drive is made to be installed in hor/vert positions, dell is a good example as they will install a drive facing down in the front of the case. GXP iirc is the model. You wil find a few more PC's with HD's installed like that.

#18 SCSI ID 0 is the default boot ID for SCSI drives

[TheDude]

I guessed at 13...we all know from open rigs we have that they work in any position:D but I was looking for an answer that "they" would approve of.
#18 I would have guessed 0 but really didn't know
#12 could be wrong..kinda iffy, but I'll stick with it:D
Looks like Fugger might have nailed it?
When do we get our grades prof. opp?:D

PiLsY.

[Marci]

Thought you're answers were a bit off initially dude... lol

[PiLsY]

Just after a 14 hour shift rebuilding a mainframe server rack m8 - could barely see ffs :p. Anyway, the above lot should all be correct - wasted my lunch break in work ;).

Marci - any word on the rev 1.3's yet? I may have to just get this thing replaced and RMA again when the 1.3 revision is readily available. Also - got any small, thin (the thinner the betteR) coldplates knocking around that would fit in the prometia clip? Its about 40 x 40mm. Desperately need one as this cpu is NOT happy at the moment. Having said that - 3.52ghz at damn near default voltage, but I know its capable of more.

PiLsY.
