You have been asked to upgrade the memory on a desktop compu

You have been asked to upgrade the memory on a desktop computer. It currently uses two modules of 512 MB PC-2700 memory and only has two memory sockets available. The customer has asked you to upgrade the computer with two sticks of 1 GB PC-3200 memory, expecting not only to have twice as much RAM available but that the RAM will be faster. What do you tell her?

A. You tell her that the computer will have twice as much memory as before and it will run at 3200 MHz rather than 2700 MHz.

B. You tell her that the computer will have twice as much memory as before but it will only run at the faster 3200 MHz speed if the bus speed on the motherboard supports it.

C. You tell her that the computer will only recognize twice as much memory as before if the motherboard supports that much memory but will run at the higher 3200 MHz speed.

D. You tell her that the computer will only recognize twice as much memory as before if the motherboard supports that much memory but will run faster only if the motherboard bus speed supports the faster speed.

Solution

Correct Answer is (D)

You tell her that the computer will only recognize twice as much memory as before if the motherboard supports that much memory but will run faster only if the motherboard bus speed supports the faster speed.

Explanation:

Upgrading the PC memory will help to improve the system performance and most effective. The RAM size will boost up your computer and motherboards are generally designed to know only a certain amount of memory and its speed of the memory based on various factors. If the RAM speed is not compatible with the mother board then the RAM will run at the default speed of the motherboard or CPU. In this case HP Pavilion model can able to recognize 1GB RAM and 2700Hz memory speed.
