CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 255

A technician is building a new PC and needs to install RAM. The motherboard has four slots, which are grouped in pairs. Which of the following types of RAM would be MOST appropriate?

Answer options

• A. Single channel
• B. Dual channel
• C. Triple channel
• D. Quad channel

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Dual channel RAM is the most appropriate choice because it allows for increased bandwidth by using two channels simultaneously, which is optimal for the paired slots on the motherboard. Single channel RAM would not take advantage of the motherboard's capabilities, while triple and quad channel configurations are not supported by a motherboard designed with four slots paired in this manner.
