Davey has been shopping for a new computer for his small start-up design
firm, but he feels overwhelmed with all of the selections and options. On his
way home from a meeting, Davey stops by the computer store where you
work to ask some questions.
Davey:
Speed is important to me for this computer. I use graphic software to create
some of my designs, and I'm always under a time crunch. How can I make
sure the computer I buy will be fast?
You:
To maximize speed, you definitely want a _________ . And make sure it's 64-
bit so it will support more RAM.
Davey:
Okay, that makes sense. I'll also have to store a lot of very large files. How
can I make sure I've got enough space?
You:
You'll want at least a 1 terabyte _______ and maybe even 2 terabytes.
Davey:
Oh, I saw some drives listed at that size, so that's good. I'll also need to
connect a printer and a drawing tablet. What will I need for those?
You:
Check the _______ - correct answer quad-core processor / disk drive / bus
It's important to know prefixes for measuring units so you can understand
relative sizes of files, network bandwidth, and processing capability.
