i will but let me answer the 5 questions first.... they are pretty weird O_o - IMO

list 3 components that must conform to the same socket type.

WTF? i only came up with CPU O_o

list 3 components tha tmust have the same or compatible form factor?


List 3 factors to consider when choosing memory

i only came up with what the motherboard supports... O_o
the wording confused me help wookie!

The class is Computer Maintenance, where I basically learn how to be a Computer Service/Repair tech for free :P I get to be A+ Certified by the end of the semester if i past the test

Oh and I notice the class in the title just now. And is this cheating?

Socket Type:

Motherboard
CPU

For this one you have to do a little work.

Form Factor:

i.e Micro ATX, etc. That should give you 2. Can you guess the third? If not I can help

I was thinking that but I didn't know if thats what it meant :x

BTX, ATX, M-ATX?

I edited the 2nd post the other question...

Ok, well you have to have an ATX case for example and match it up with an ATX motherboard. There is one more component that I can think of. I probably won't spoil the fun though.

Of course it is not cheating, silly Wookie xD
You're just helping me confirm my answers :P

While I do have a A+ certification, I dunno if my answers will help you.

list 3 components that must conform to the same socket type.

CPU, Memory, and PC Card bus.

list 3 components tha tmust have the same or compatible form factor?

Motherboard, Case, and Power Supply

List 3 factors to consider when choosing memory

Number of available sockets, socket type, and memory specification.

They helped, thanks for the help :D

On a related manner, I am taking Computer Science 1... The first day we reviewed the basic parts of the computer, more or less I probably could have been the teacher that day! What's funny was when one of the other kids in STS (Student Technical Support) asked "I know there is a limit on the amount of RAM you can have before the OS will have problems and so what is that exactly?"

The teacher looked like he didn't know so I jumped right in "For a 32bit OS it is 4GB of which only 3.75GB or so is useable (putting it simply) and for 64bit OS I think it is 128 GB or more..."

It was kinda funny in that the teacher had to rely on me for the answer.

The teacher was kinda shocked when I told him I already built/started building my computer... I knew at that moment that this class is going to be easy!

LOL efer ruined all the fun for you Tony. He got the Form Factor ones the same as I had and well for the socket type one disagreement. So I don't know either way to go. And the memory he is once again right.

[TonyLuu]

Yay for Efer :P
