Question

paul has joined your company as a sales rep in the sales department. he is in the process of purchasing a laptop computer for work - use. you have heard that some types of ram are better than others. which of the following types of ram would best meet the needs of pauls new computer? (1) ecc memory as it will increase the computers performance. (2) non - ecc memory as it is less expensive and more reliable than ecc memory. (3) ecc memory as it is less expensive than non - ecc memory. (4) non - ecc memory as it is less expensive and parity is not required.

Explanation:

1. ECC (Error - Correcting Code) memory is often used in enterprise - level and high - reliability systems as it can detect and correct single - bit errors. It is more expensive but offers better data integrity.
2. Non - ECC memory is less expensive and is commonly used in consumer - grade systems where the cost is a major factor and the need for high - level error correction is not as critical. For a sales rep's laptop for work - use, non - ECC memory is likely sufficient as the requirements for data integrity are not as stringent as in some enterprise or server environments, and cost - effectiveness is a consideration.

Answer:

D. Non - ECC memory as it is less expensive and parity is not required.
