9. Which of the following terms is the most closely related to main memory?
a. nonvolatile
b. permanent
c. control unit
d. temporary
e. none of the above
10. Which of the following affects processing power?

d. register size
e. all of the above
4. Write answers to the questions:
1. What is the purpose of main memory?
2. What is the difference between the traditional ROM chip and some of the
newer ROM-type chips (PROM, EPROM, EEPROM)?
3. What is the difference between a computer with closed architecture and one
with open architecture?
4. What is the purpose of a parity chip?
5. What led to the development of add-on memory boards?
6. What is a microprocessor? a semiconductor?
7. Is it faster to retrieve data from main memory than from a disk storage device?
Why, if yes?
8. What are the main factors affecting the processing power of a computer?
9. What would be a good indication that two computers are incompatible?
Why is knowing this important to you?
1. What is the function of the control unit in a computer system?
Does every computer require one?
5 Discussion
1. Advances are made almost every day in microprocessor chip technology.
What are some of the most recent advances? In what computers are these chips
being used? How might these advances affect the way we currently use
