Question

which of the following does not directly improve a computers speed?

1. ram
2. processor speed
3. hard drive
4. cache

question 10 (1 point)
larger working memory (ram) means the computer will run faster.
true
false

Explanation:

1. RAM, processor speed, and cache directly impact a computer's active processing speed by handling data for immediate operations. A hard drive only stores data long-term; while faster drives can improve load times, they do not directly boost the computer's core operational speed during active tasks.
2. Larger RAM allows the computer to keep more data and programs active in fast, accessible memory, reducing slow data retrieval from storage, which generally makes the computer run faster during multitasking or when using memory-intensive applications.

Answer:

1. 3) hard drive
2. True
