Hardware
The component which is responsible for storing quickly accessed data.
Random Access Memory (RAM)
System32
The type of connection/network used to connect different computers on the same network
LAN
The Ultimate goal/purpose of a PSU (Power Supply Unit).
To convert AC into DC.
The CD is capable of holding how much storage?
700MBs or 800MBs
This feature is on all DDR5 sticks of RAM vs its predecessor where it wasn't always available.
ECC Capabilities
The first mainline/consumer windows version which used the NT Kernel.
Windows XP (Windows 2000 in businesses)
The protocol that most websites use for secure connections.
HTTPS
These specific processors are advised to not be overclocked using a static or fixed voltage.
AMD Ryzen processors.
DVD-R (pronounced DVD Dash R) was produced by Pioneer and it was released in the later half of 1997. Sony and Philips went on to create an alternative standard of DVD to compete with DVD-R.
DVD+R
Modern GPUs have been segmented into different compute blocks which hold a variety of things, from shading units, L0 and L1 cache, Texture Mapping Units, and other things. What are these blocks?
Streaming Multiprocessor (Nvidia), or Compute Unit (AMD).
This was the main baseline operating system that ran underneath Windows 9x operating systems.
MS-DOS
There are a few categories of subnets. Type A-E are the different types, with type A having this number of blocks.
128
Specifically on x79 based system, when overclocking the CPU core, you are more likely to be limited by this variable rather than the bin of your core.
This historical figure is known as the father of theoretical computer science.
Alan Turing
A VRM (Voltage regulator module) is responsible for controlling the voltage that gets sent across a PCB or Motherboard. This contains a setup of four main components.
MOSFETs (Transistors), Capacitors, Chokes, and PWM controllers.
The first DirectX 10 capable GPUs introduced this new feature which allowed for heavily parallelized code to run on the graphics card itself.
CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture)
The process of determining/identifying potential security risks or vulnerabilities in a given network or system and applying measures to minimize them.
Threat Modeling
This graphics card from Nvidia will cause the screen to go blank when attempting to overclock its memory while it is under load.
The Titan V (Or any Volta card)
The Commodore 64 was one of the best selling PCs back in the 80s and had excellent sound for its time due to this chip.
The SID (Sound Interface Device)
This process on a CPU allows for the switching of a thread or process to a new one whilst retaining the data/state of the old one to be resumed later.
Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is a firmware interface that replaced the original BIOS system on older machines. One of the main benefits of UEFI was its increased storage boot drive capacity support. BIOS could only handle 2.1TB of storage as a boot drive. What is the capacity that UEFI can support?
9.4 Zettabytes (ZB)
The 4 layers of the TCP/IP model.
Application Layer, Transport Layer, Internet Layer, and Network Access (Link layer)
This person is known as the inventor of COBOL, one of the first programming languages.
Grace Hopper
This instruction set from the late 90s was one of the first SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) instruction sets to have been introduced, and was made standard on all Pentium II based processors.
MMX Instructions
