Lab 1.3.2 Determining Data Storage Capacity

Step 1: Identify the RAM in a computer

a.      With Windows XP, there are two ways to view control panels: Classic View and Category View. The options available depend on which one of these two views you are using. If you see the Switch to Category View option on the left, you are currently in the classic view mode. If Switch to Classic View is displayed, you are currently in Category View mode. For this step, you want to use Classic View mode.

b.      From the Start menu, select Control Panel. In the Control Panel, choose System to open the System Properties dialog box. Alternatively, you can get this information by clicking the Start button and right clicking the My Computer icon. Next, choose Properties from the drop-down menu.

The computer operating system and service pack information are listed in the upper part of the dialog box. The computer processor type, speed, and memory are listed in the lower portion.

speed, and

memory

c.       In this example, the computer processor is a Pentium 4 processor with a clock speed of 3.20 gigahertz (GHz). Clock speed is a measurement of the number of cycles per second that a processor is capable of doing. The number of cycles impacts the number of instructions per second that the CPU can process. A higher clock speed generally means that a processor is capable of executing more instructions per second.

The computer has 448 MB of RAM available for the CPU.

d.      Check your computer and determine the amount of RAM available to the CPU. How much RAM is in your computer? 

Answer : 956 MB atau 1GB.

Step 2: Determine the size of the hard disk drive

a.       Double-click the My Computer icon on your computer desktop. If you do not have a My Computer icon, click Start and choose My Computer.

b.      Right-click the local disk drive under the Hard Disk Drives Section (which is usually the C drive), and select Properties. This opens the Local Disk Properties dialog box. The total capacity of the hard drive is shown above the Drive C icon.

c.       Determine the size of the hard drive on your computer. What is the total size of the hard drive in GB?  The answer will vary depending on the hard drive installed in each computer.

Answer : 74,4 GB

d.      Keep the Local Disk Properties dialog box open for the next step.

Step 3: Determine the free space and used space on the hard drive 

a.       In the Local Disk Properties dialog box, the used and free space is shown in both bytes and GB above the Capacity.

b.      What is the used space of your hard drive in GB? 

Answer : 54,23 GB 

c.       What is the free space of your hard drive in GB? 

Answer : 20,17 GB

Step 4: Check for other storage devices

a.       Right-click the Start button and select Explore. Select My Computer in the left pane.

b.      How many drive letters are shown in the window that appears? 

Answer: 3

c.       Right-click on a drive icon other than C: and select Properties. The Removable Disk Properties window appears.

d.      Select the Hardware tab, which provides information on each device and whether it is working properly.

Step 5: Reflection 

a.       Why is it important to know the amount of RAM in your computer? 

Answer : This will determine the type of OS that you are able to run as well as which application programs can be used. Generally the more RAM in a computer system the better 

b.      Why is the size of a hard drive as well as the space being used important? 

Answer : The size of the hard drive gives an indication of the total number of files that can be stored on the drive. This includes the operating system, application programs as well as any data associated with these programs. Generally the larger the drive size the better.

Lab 1.3.3 Determining the Screen Resolution of a Computer

Step 1: Determine the current screen resolution

a.       To view the current screen resolution and color quality settings, right-click on any empty space on the desktop and select Properties from the context menu. In the Display Properties window, select the Settings tab.

You can also access Display Properties by opening the Control Panel and clicking the Display icon.

b.      Use the Display Properties Settings tab to record the current settings on your PC: The screen resolution is (H by V) 

Answer :         Horizontal The horizontal resolution is: 1024,

The vertical resolution is: 768,

The color quality value is: 32 bit

Step 2: Determine the maximum resolution for the highest color quality.

The slide bar under Screen resolution is used to configure the desired resolution.

a.       Move the slide bar to see the range of screen resolutions that are available on your PC. (The range is determined by the operating system when it identifies the display card and the monitor.)

b.      Use the Display Properties Settings tab to fill out the following table for the current settings on your PC :

Answer: Minimum screen resolution 800×600 pixels Maximum screen resolutio 1280×800 pixels Available color quality settings medium (16 bit) dan highest 932 bit)

Step 3: Calculate the pixels for current and maximum resolution settings

The display on the screen consists of rows of pixels. The number of pixels in each row is the horizontal resolution. The number of rows is the vertical resolution. To determine the total number of pixels in a screen resolution, you multiply the horizontal resolution by the vertical resolution. For example, if the current resolution is 1280 x 1024, the total number of pixels is 1280 times 1024, or 1,310,720. 

Answer :

a.       Calculate the total number of pixels for the lowest resolution:  600 pixels

b.      Calculate the total number of pixels for the maximum resolution:  1280 pixels

Step 4: Identify the type of graphics card installed

You can get detailed information about the graphics card (also called the display adapter) in the Display Properties screen.

a.       In the Display Properties screen, click the Advanced button.

b.      Select the Adapter tab.

c.       Use the information found in the Adapter tab to complete the following table:
Answer :

Graphics card manufacturer and model (Adapter Type) Graphics memory on card (Memory Size)

Chip type, DAC Type, memory Size, adapter string, Bios infoemation128 MB, but this is based on speck of the each of the computer.

Step 5: Identify the type of monitor and available refresh rates

You can get detailed information about the monitor in the Display Properties screen. The screen refresh rate determines the number of times per second the screen is illuminated or redrawn. A refresh rate of 60 hertz means the screen is illuminated 60 times per second. Higher refresh rates provide less screen flicker, which reduces eye strain, but may adversely affect the monitor. You should set the refresh rate to the highest level the monitor can safely support.

a.       Click on the Monitor tab to see the monitor type and current refresh rate.

b.      Use the information found in the Monitor tab to complete the following table: 
Answer:

Monitor type	Plug and Play Monitor and NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400
Supported refresh rates	60     ert

c.       What can occur if you select a refresh rate that is higher than what the  monitor can safely display?

Answer : Can be damage to hardware.
