Question 43
How can cache improve CPU performance?
- A) By allowing the CPU to access data more quickly than RAM
- B) By freeing up memory for other processes
- C) By increasing the CPU clock speed
- D) By storing frequently accessed disk data
Correct Answer: A) By allowing the CPU to access data more quickly than RAM
Explanation: Cache memory is much faster than RAM and is used to store frequently accessed data for the CPU.
Question 44
A workstation with a multi-socket motherboard has a Xeon E3-1220 CPU installed. Can a Xeon E3-1231 CPU be used for symmetric multiprocessing?
- A) Yes
- B) No
Correct Answer: B) No

Question 45
Can any x64-compatible CPU with sufficient clock speed be used to run multiple virtual machines (VMs)?
- A) Yes
- B) No
Correct Answer: B) No
Explanation: The CPU must support virtualization extensions to run VMs efficiently.
Question 46
When installing a PGA CPU, what must be checked?
- A) Pin alignment with the socket
- B) Voltage settings
- C) Heat sink compatibility
- D) Firmware version
