interface and peripheral functions for the processor. ANSWER
Chipset
, • Another type of physical memory common in PCs is memory,
• is a series of system checks performed by the
system BIOS/UEFI and other high-end components, such as
the SCSI BIOS and the video BIOS, known collectively as
option ROMs. ANSWER POST (Power-On Self-Test)
• DRAM shares a common clock signal with the
computer's system-bus clock, which provides the common
signal that all local-bus components use for each step that
they perform. ANSWER Synchronous (SDRAM)
• DRAM is characterized by its independence from
the CPU's external clock. ANSWER Asynchronous
• is classically used for cache memory. ANSWER SRAM
• Some form of is normally used to store the
computer's BIOS because this information normally does
not change often. ANSWER Virtual Memory
