Computer class questions...?
1) A


2) A *BIOS=Basic Input Output System


3) A * MHz


4) B * Not technically correct, the VGA port is where you plug the monitor into. AGP = interface specification.





5) D * Not technically correct either. I notice it says "modem" not "modem card". You cannot plug a modem into a PCI slot only a modem card. Why is this, since video "card" and sound "card" are listed?


There are cards that allow you add "mouse" ports (Serial, PS/2, USB) to your computer, so "mouse card" could be correct also.
