- 3. type of volatile, high-speed, short-term computer memory used to temporarily store data for active applications and the operating system. RAM allows the CPU to access data quickly, enabling efficient multitasking and faster performance
- 5. Microsoft Management Console.
- 7. is an analog display interface standard used to connect computers to monitors, projectors, and televisions.
- 8. digital interface standard used to transmit uncompressed high-definition video and audio data from a source
- 9. hardware component—either a circuit board, chip, or USB device—installed in a computer or network device (like a server or printer) that enables it to connect to a network.
- 10. brain of the processor by managing, directing, and coordinating the flow of data and instructions.
- 11. to replace the older FAT (File Allocation Table) file system, offering better performance, improved reliability, greater security (file-level permissions and encryption), and support for much larger file sizes and volumes.
- 16. primary component that executes instructions, performs calculations, and controls the flow of data
- 18. It is a specialized, highly parallel electronic circuit designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images for display, as well as handle complex, data-intensive tasks like AI training, video rendering, and scientific simulations.
- 19. is a non-volatile, high-performance data storage device that stores data persistently using integrated circuits
- 21. non-volatile computer storage that permanently retains data even when the power is turned off. It is primarily used to store essential, unchanging firmware instructions needed to boot up the computer, such as the BIOS.
- 22. connects internal storage devices—such as Hard Disk Drives (HDDs), Solid-State Drives (SSDs), and optical drives—to a computer's motherboard
- 23. Vital Information Resources Under Siege
- 24. important for the transfer of data between the computer's storage device and its memory
Down
- 1. is a data storage technology that combines multiple physical hard drives (HDDs) or solid-state drives (SSDs) into a single logical unit
- 2. Read-Only Memory
- 4. It initializes, tests, and configures hardware
- 5. MINI mid-range computer) or mini-languages (small programming languages used for education).
- 6. flat-panel display technology commonly used for screen panels in electronic devices
- 8. It is a non-volatile, electromechanical data storage device that uses magnetic storage to store and retrieve digital data
- 12. is a program that attaches to a host, such as a file or document, and runs without user permission.
- 13. It was designed to connect devices within a local area network (LAN) using a shared coaxial cable, allowing for rapid, reliable data transmission
- 14. New Technology File System
- 15. analog display interface standard used to connect computers to monitors
- 16. User interface that relies on text input
- 17. industry-standard specification for cables, connectors, and communication protocols used to connect, communicate, and supply power between computers and electronic devices
- 20. it is a video display interface designed to transmit uncompressed digital video signals from a source
