| explain SMT/Hyperthreading | When one core is used for two tasks at once because they're different functions. |
| what is a core? | physical processor on a CPU, there can be multiple cores on a CPU at once |
| if an Athlon has 4 cores with SMT, how many CPUs is there actually? | 8 CPUs |
| explain a P core | performance cores with hyperthreading/SMT with faster speeds |
| explain an E core | efficiency cores without hyperthreading/SMT with less efficiency than SMT |
| what is a PCI slot? | larger slots typically with more pins than PCIe |
| what is a PCIe slot and what are the sizes? (there are 4) | smaller than PCI slots, can come in 1x, 4x, 8x, 16x |
| what is a form factor? | mostly the size and how many ports it has. the design. |
| explain the ITX | a form factor that is small |
| explain the ATX | the largest form factor (out of the 3 we have to know lmao) |
| explain the micro-ATX | form factor that most PCs use, medium-ish size |
| what does BIOS do? | motherboard settings. controls how hardware is used to run the OS |
| define EUFI | the modern version of BIOS, you can use a mouse ! |
| lithium battery use in a PC | powers the BIOS/EUFI settings and the internal clock |
| socket use | put the CPU in it |
| memory slots use | put RAM in them. |

| what are data rates measured in? | MHz |
| If memory is displayed as PC2-6400, what is the speed? | DDR2 at 800 MHz |
| if memory is DDR4 at 2666, what is the translation in PC terms? | PC4-21300 (rounded down) |
| what's the drive | the physical drive (HDD/SSD) |
| what is a partition | a section of data in the drive, can include the entire drive |
| what is a volume | a formatted partition |
| SATA meaning? | a port that connects to the drive controller |
| M.2 meaning? | a connector that gives a drive direct access to PCIe bus, making a faster connection |
| data partitions use | general storage |
| recovery partitions use | can restore the OS if needed |
| boot partition use | boots the OS |
| page file partition use | holds extra information to help prevent memory from getting too full |
| crash dump partition use | holds files for error reports ? |
| EFI/UEFI partition use | holds information on how to communicate with the drive |
| whats a master boot record? (MBR) | boot sector of the hard disk |
| what is a GUID partition table (GPT) | provides a more flexible mechanism for partitioning disks than the older MBR partitioning scheme found in the average PC |
