解説
問 84
Incorrectア
A PC card slot is a socket used mainly in laptop PCs to insert expansion cards for communication cards or peripherals (PC cards / PCMCIA cards); it is not a socket for mounting a memory module.
Incorrectイ
Flash memory is a kind of non-volatile memory whose data is not lost even when the power is turned off (a memory element itself), and it is used in USB flash drives, SSDs, and the like. It is not a socket on the motherboard, so it is incorrect.
Incorrectウ
Memory interleave is a technique that speeds up access by dividing main memory into multiple banks and accessing them in parallel; it is not a term that refers to a physical socket.
- エ
正解 The correct answer is choice エ, the memory slot. The socket used to attach a memory module (such as a DIMM, a component that mounts several memory chips on a single circuit board) to a PC motherboard is the memory slot (DIMM slot). Its structure aligns the notch of the module with the ridge in the slot, inserts it vertically, and fixes it with the clips at both ends; it is used when adding or replacing main memory.
ここがポイント
- The definition of the term: the socket for attaching a memory module (such as a DIMM) to the motherboard is the memory slot.
- Distinguishing it from confusing terms: PC card slot = a socket for expansion cards, flash memory = a non-volatile memory element, memory interleave = a speed-up technique.
