CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 26

A user on the marketing team uses various multimedia applications that consume a lot of memory. The user needs to install more RAM to run these applications effectively. When the user opens the computer case, the user sees four slots in two sets of colors. Which of the following memory types is MOST likely required?

Answer options

• A. Dual-channel
• B. Triple-channel
• C. Single-channel
• D. Quad-channel
• E. Error correction code RAM

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Dual-channel, as having two sets of slots in different colors indicates that the motherboard supports dual-channel configuration, which enhances memory bandwidth. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they refer to different channel configurations that do not match the observed setup, while option E, Error correction code RAM, is a type of RAM that provides error checking but does not specifically relate to the channel configuration needed.
