- If a computer system displays less memory than what is installed, what are the most likely causes for this discrepancy? ( example: a system comes with 2 GB of RAM installed but system info displays 1896 MB of RAM)
Question 1:
If a computer system displays less memory than what is installed, what are the most likely causes for this discrepancy? ( example: a system comes with 2 GB of RAM installed but system info displays 1896 MB of RAM)
A. There are a full 2 GB of ram installed, however other devices (video card etc) have been designated a portion of the system RAM to function.
B. System has 2 separate 1 GB sticks installed to equal 1896 MB of Ram. If a single 2B stick was installed it would read correctly.
C. RAM measurements are similar to the hard drive discrepancy in that a GB definition difference exists between the manufacturer and the operating system.
D. The manufacturer rounds up to the measurement to the nearest GB for ease of sale. The Operating system reads the actual amount of the chip(s).
These questions are from this test. Would you like to take a practice test?
