CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 1
A department has the following technical requirements for a new application:
Quad Core processor -
250GB of hard drive space
6GB of RAM
Touch screens -
The company plans to upgrade from a 32-bit Windows OS to a 64-bit OS. Which of the following will the company be able to fully take advantage of after the upgrade?
Answer options
- A. CPU
- B. Hard drive
- C. RAM
- D. Touch screen
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is RAM because a 64-bit OS can manage more memory than a 32-bit OS, allowing the full 6GB of RAM to be utilized. The CPU and hard drive do not have limitations based on the OS architecture in the same way as RAM, and the touch screen is independent of the OS type.
