    Inside the system

    Name:

    1 Are these sentences true or false?


    1 RAM stands for Random Access Memory.    True      False 
    2 If memory is volatile, it means that information is lost when the computer is turned off.    
    True      False 
    3 RAM is non-volatile.    True      False 
    4 ROM is volatile.    True      False 
    5 DIMMs can be used to expand RAM capacity.    True      False 

    2 For each abbreviation, type in the correct unit of memory.


    1 TB Terabyte 3 MB Megabyte 5 B Byte
    2 GB Gigabyte 4 KB (or K) Kilobyte 6 b Bit

      Now listen to the words and practise saying them.

    3 Now complete these sentences by typing in a unit of memory from Exercise 2.


    1 A bit is the smallest unit of information in a computer that must be either 0 or 1. Eight of
    these make a byte .
    2 A megabyte is approximately one million bytes.
    3 One of the largest units of memory is a terabyte – equivalent to all the books in a large library.
    4 A DVD-RW can usually store 4.7 gigabyte of data.
    5 A kilobyte is around 1000 bytes.

    4 C omplete the rules for defining relative clauses by choosing a word from the drop-down
    menu.
    HELP? 1 We use the relative pronoun who to refer to people.
    2 We use the relative pronoun which to refer to things.
    3 We can use that to replace which and who.
    4 Relative pronouns can be left out when they are the subject of the relative clause, for
    example: The amount of memory (that) you need depends on how many programs you want to run at the
    same time.

    5 Complete these definitions from an ICT dictionary by typing in terms from the box. Then
    choose the correct word from the drop-down menu to make defining relative clauses.

    chip    buses    central processing unit    clock speed    control unit

    1 The central processing unit , or CPU, is like a ’brain’ which performs tasks for your computer.
    2 The CPU is built into a single chip that executes program instructions and
    coordinates activities within the system.
    3 The control unit is the part of the processor which is responsible for loading and
    interpreting the individual instructions that make up a computer program.
    4 clock speed is measured in gigahertz; for example, a processor running at 4Ghz would give you
    all the performance who you need to run most applications.
    5 buses are electrical channels that allow devices inside the computer to
    communicate.
