Note: Answer all questions. Kindly note that answers for 10 marks questions should be approximately
of 400 words. Each questionis followedbyevaluationscheme.
1 Differentiate CISCwithRISC.
Answer: RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) and CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computing) are
two computer architectures that are predominantly used nowadays. The main difference between RISC
and CISC is in the number of computing cycles each of their instructions take. With CISC, each instruction
may utilize amuchgreaternumberof cyclesbefore completionthaninRISC.
Q.2 Explainabout the Sockets and slots of the Motherboard.
Answer: The motherboard has one or more sockets or slots into which the processor is inserted. The
type of processor that can be used is defined by the type of socket or slot present on the motherboard.
Intel has historically defined the processor socket standards, but competing chip makers have been able
to use the same standardsquite successfully.
Socket Specifications:
Slot 1
DevelopedbyIntel toreplace theirZeroInsertionForce (ZIF) sockets

2. Slot 2
Slot A
DevelopedbyAMD,SlotA ismechanicallysimilartoIntel'sSlot1.
Socket 7 is a ZIF socket used by Pentium chips. Intel has moved to Slot 1 and Slot 2, but this socketis also
usedbyAMD K5 and K6, as well asCyrix 6x86 processors.
Socket 8
Socket8 isdesignedforIntel'sPentiumProprocessor.
Socket 370
Originallydesignedforuse withCeleronprocessors,
Q.3 Define the following.
a. Front SidedBus
Answer: A front-side bus (FSB) was a computer communication interface (bus) often used in Intel-chip-
basedcomputersduringthe 1990s and 2000s.
b. Dual IndependentBus
Answer: The Dual Independent Bus (DIB) architecture was first implemented in the sixth-generation
processorsfromIntel andAMD.
Q. 4 What are the advantages and disadvantagesof switchingpower circuit?
Answer: DC are different according to different requirements to use the power of his best linear DC
output is linear, can be used in demanding situations, switching power supply, followed by his high
switching speed of transformers and switches, is characterized by weight small , large capacity, high
outputquality,
A linearpower principle:
Linear power supply including frequency transformer, rectifier output filter, the control circuit , the
protectioncircuit
Q. 5 Discuss any five guidelinesthatwe needto followwhile troubleshootingthe hardware problem.
Answer: The term troubleshooting refers to the act of applying diagnostic tools--often heuristically and
accompaniedbycommonsense--todeterminethe causesof systemproblems.
Each system problem must be treated on its own merits. It is not possible to provide a cookbook of
actionsthat resolve eachproblem.

3. Familiaritywith a wide variety of equipment, and experience with a particular machine's commonfailure
modescan be invaluable whentroubleshootingsystemproblems
Q. 6 ExplainDirectX.
Answer: Microsoft DirectX is a collection of application programming interfaces (APIs) for handling tasks
related to multimedia, especially game programming and video, on Microsoft platforms. Originally, the
namesof these APIsall beganwithDirect,suchas Direct3D,DirectDraw,
