Storage media are nonvolatile

True

When comparing the zoom capabilities of a digital camera, look for optical zoom, not digital zoom, specifications

True

RAM can be removed and inserted in another computer to move data from one PC to another

False

RAM is connected to the CPU through the Backside Bus

False

Single-core CPUs allow computers to work simultaneously on more than one task at a time

False

The process of representing data in a form that can be understood by a digital computer is called decimal byte representation

False

To add RAM you typically install 8 individual chips

False

In addition to a keyboard, most computers today are used in conjunction with some type of pointing device

True

A computer display is the most common form of output device

True

A graphics tablet is typically connected to a computer via a USB port

True

Adding RAM to a PC will typically improve speed and performance

True

Adding RAM to a computer is something most users can do themselves

True

Each pixel in a monochrome graphic can be only one of two possible colors (such as black or white)

True

Storage media are volatile

False

The numbering system we commonly use is called the decimal numbering system because it uses ____ symbols to represent all possible numbers

As a hard drive begins to get full, it takes less time to locate the data stored on the hard drive

False

Joysticks are headphones with a built-in microphone

False

RAM capacity is measured in bits

The binary numbering system uses only two symbols—the digits 0 and 1—to represent all possible numbers

True

The video card or the integrated graphics component determines the graphics capabilities of the computer

True

Display device size is measured diagonally from corner to corner as opposed to the way TV screens are measured

False

Images need to be scanned at a lower resolution if the image will be enlarged significantly

False

Notebook and netbook computers usually have a keyboard that is similar to a desktop keyboard, but it is typically smaller

True

RAM can be thought of the 'workspace' for the computer

True

SSDs are becoming the norm for netbooks, mobile devices, and other very portable devices

True

SSDs are not subject to mechanical failures like magnetic hard drives, and are more resistant to shock and vibration

True

Since retrieving data from memory is much faster than from a magnetic hard disk, disk caching can speed up performance

True

Some basic capabilities are often integrated directly into the motherboard instead of requiring the use of an expansion card

True

Storage devices can be internal (located inside the system unit), external (plugged into an external port on the system unit), or remote (located on another computer).

True

To create 3D RAM or flash memory chips, the memory cells are stacked on top of one another in layers

True

Printers produce soft copy

True-yes
