the processor instruction set identifies all instructions (operations) that a processor can perform.

--32-bit processors use the IA-32 instruction set (x86) --Itanium processors from the Intel use the IA-64 instruction set --AMD64 and Intel 64 processors use the x86-64 instruction set (x64)

applications typically perform better on 64 bit systems

--64 bit applications typically perform better than 32 bit applications --in some cases 32 bit applications might perform better on 64 bit systems

if you plan to implement a virtual solution, check to see whether hardware support in the CPU is required. hardware support is provided by processors with the following features:

--Intel's Virtualization Technology (VT) --AMD's AMD Virtualization (AMD-V)

32 bit applications can run on 64 bit processors using

--Itanium processors use a software layer to translate between IA_32 and IA-64 --x64 processors execute both 32 bit and 64 bit instructions in the hardware

32-bit or 64-bit

--a 32-bit processor can process 32-bits of information at a time --a 64-bit processor can process 64- bits of information. --over the last several years, processors have been moving from 32-bit processors to 64-bit processors.

Integrated Memory controller

--in a traditional processor design, the processor is connected to the font side bus and the Northbridge chip. --the processor communicates with other system components through the front side bus. --smaller manufacturing size has reduced the overall size of a processor, leaving more room on the processor die for additional cores or cache. --to improve performance, some processors include the memory controller on the processor die rather than in the Northbridge chip, resulting in faster memory access by the processor.

beware of the following processor cache

--the size of the cache increases as you move from L1 to L3, with L1 being the smallest --as a general rule, a processor with more cache performs better than a processor with less cache (all other things being equal) --originally, L1 cache was on the processor die, with L2 cache being on the motherboard between the CPU and the RAM. as processor technology has advanced, L2 cache moved to the processor die, with L3 cache being on the motherboard. today, all three cache levels are located on the processor.

What do biometrics use to authenticate identity?

Biological attributes

Before gaining access to the data center, you must swipe your finger on a device. What type of authentication is this?

Biometrics. Single sign-on means that you can use one type of authentication to get access to more than one system. While that could be going on in this scenario, it is not explicit, so biometrics is the more accurate answer. Multifactor means that more than one type of authentication is needed; for example, a fingerprint and a PIN. Let's say that users were expected to type a PIN into a keypad to gain access to the data center. You might find over time that some persons who enter don't match the owner of the PIN. That uncertainty can be avoided by incorporating biometrics. Tokens are used to gain access to systems and networks, and might include rolling one-time passwords, but do not incorporate a person's physical characteristics such as a fingerprint.

Which of the following results occurs when a biometric system identifies a legitimate user as unauthorized?

If a biometric system identifies a legitimate user as unauthorized, and denies that user access, it is known as a false rejection. False acceptance on the other hand is when a biometric system authorizes an illegitimate user. FAR is the false acceptance rate—the lower the better. CER stands for crossover error rate, which is the comparison of the FAR and the FRR. False exceptions have to do with software that has failed and needs to be debugged.

Which two options can prevent unauthorized employees from entering a server room?

If a person doesn't have the proper proximity card, that person will be prevented from entering a server room or other protected room. Security guards can also prevent people from accessing unauthorized areas. However, bollards (short vertical posts) probably wouldn't stop a person, besides they aren't normally installed in front of a server room entrance. A barricade might stop a person, but again, would be out of place!

Your company has decided to hire a full-time video editor. You have been asked to find a system with the level of display quality needed by someone who will be working with video all day. Which of the following video card specifications will have the greatest impact on display quality?

Refresh rate Resolution Explanation The quality of video is determined by both the video card and the external display. When selecting a video card, the following specifications should be considered: - Resolution: The number of pixels displayed on the screen. A higher resolution means that more information can be shown on the screen (screen "real estate"). A video card is rated by its max resolution, which is the highest possible resolution it can display (e.g., 1920 x 1080 or 4096 x 2160). A video editor is going to need as much estate as you can afford. - Refresh rate: The number of times in one second that the GPU draws a frame. Refresh rates are measured in hertz. A refresh rate of 70 Hz or lower may cause eye fatigue. An optimal refresh rate is between 75Hz and 85Hz. The display specifications should match the video card specifications. Memory, GPU configuration, and display connection type are all factors that will contribute to video performance or compatibility with the display. But these factors do not directly determine the display quality.

What is the biggest advantage of 64-bit processors over 32-bit processors?

The ability to use over 4 GB of memory. Explanation The biggest advantage of 64-bit processors over 32-bit processors is in the amount of memory they can use. 32-bit processors have a limit of 4 GB. 64-bit processors have a theoretical limit of 16 EB. 32-bit processors use the IA-32 instruction set (also referred to as x86). Applications typically perform better on 64-bit systems but this is not the biggest advantage. Hyper-threading is a feature of same Intel processors that allows a single processor to run threads (instructions) in parallel as opposed to processing threads linearly, and is not dependent on whether the processor is 32-or 64-bit.

Which is a program that appears to be a legitimate application, utility, game, or screensaver and performs malicious activities surreptitiously? - Trojan horse - Outlook Express - ActiveX control - Worm

Trojan horse Explanation A Trojan horse is a program that appears to be a legitimate application, utility, game, or screensaver, but performs malicious activities surreptitiously. Trojan horses are very common on the internet. To keep your systems secure and free from such malicious code, you need to take extreme caution when downloading any type of file from just about any site on the internet. If you don't fully trust the site or service that is offering a file, don't download it. Outlook Express is an email client found on Windows. A worm is a type of malicious code similar to a virus. A worm's primary purpose is to duplicate itself and spread, while not necessarily intentionally damaging or destroying resources. ActiveX controls are web applications written in the framework of ActiveX.

You need to connect a monitor that provides an HDMI port and a VGA port to a video adapter in a PC system that uses a DVI-D connector. Which option would provide the best display quality at the lowest cost?

Use an adapter to connect the monitor HDMI port to the DVI-D connector on the PC. Explanation Using an adapter to connect the DVI-D connector on the video adapter to the HDMI port would provide the best quality output at the lowest cost. Because DVI-D and HDMI both use digital signalling, the signal is not degraded during conversion. In fact, HDMI was specifically designed to support DVI-D signalling. DVI-D to HDMI converters can be purchased for less than $20.00 USD. Using a DVI-D to VGA adapter would allow you to connect the video board to the monitor, however, this type of adapter must convert digital signals to analogue signals, which would likely degrade the signal slightly. Purchasing a new monitor with a DVI-D port would provide a high-quality signal but would coat much more that the other alternatives.
