Unit 3

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 3 MB 5 B
2 GB 4 KB (or K) 6 b

  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 is the smallest unit of information in a computer that must be either 0 or 1. Eight of
these make a .
2 A is approximately one million bytes.
3 One of the largest units of memory is a – equivalent to all the books in a large library.
4 A DVD-RW can usually store 4.7 of data.
5 A 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 to refer to people.
2 We use the relative pronoun to refer to things.
3 We can use to replace which and who.
4 Relative pronouns can be left out when they are the 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.

3 The is the part of the processor is responsible for loading and
interpreting the individual instructions that make up a computer program.
4 is measured in gigahertz; for example, a processor running at 4Ghz would give you
all the performance you need to run most applications.
5 are electrical channels allow devices inside the computer to
communicate.
