4. What determines the speed that the CPU and the rest of the computer work at?
5. What is a chipset?
6. What is the function of the address bus and its layout.
7. How many nibbles in a byte, how many bytes in a ..... all the way to gigabytes.
8. What is the purpose of the north bridge?
9. What is the maximum amount of ram that can be used on a 32 bit address bus?
10. What number zif socket does the 486 and pentium have?

Thank you so much for reading this far, and if you help me, it is much appreciated :) A+ computer class test tommorrow! need help! ?I'll answer a few:
25: Shutdown your computer.
27 . Providing more power to your processor speeding it up.
7. Lol %26quot;nibble.%26quot; 2 nibbles in a byte. (Google %26quot;# %26lt;formata%26gt; to %26lt;formatb%26gt;%26quot;.)
Example:
%26quot;10 petabytes to gigabytes%26quot;
