  FALSE

  TRUE

 2. Fill in the blanks. 
The most common form of RAM is ___________________.

  DRAM

  Flash memory

  SRAM

  VideoRAM

 3. How often does a memory controller automatically refresh memory in DRAM?

  Once every minute

  Thousands of times per second

  A few times per second

  It doesn't refresh it at all

 4. Dynamic RAM is faster than Static RAM

  TRUE

  FALSE

 5. What is the difference between DRAM and SRAM

  DRAM is faster

  DRAM is physically bigger

  DRAM needs its data to be refreshed otherwise loses it

  SRAM needs its data to be refreshed otherwise loses it

 6. Both DRAM and SRAM are volatile and lose data once the power is removed.

  TRUE

  FALSE

 7. SRAM is smaller than DRAM.

  FALSE

  TRUE

 8. Fill in the blanks. 
The cycle time of ____________ is greater than that of __________ and
____________has more capacity than _____________.

 9. DRAM is used as the main memory, whereas on-chip caches are usually SRAMs.

  TRUE

  FALSE

 10. Fill in the blanks. 
With _______________, the bits of data are stored in cells that consist 
of a capacitor and transistor.

  both SRAM and DRAM

  neither SRAM nor DRAM

  SRAM

  DRAM

 11. Why is SRAM denoted as 'static'?

  Because it consumes more power than DRAM

  Because it has to be periodically refreshed

  Because it doesn't move

  Because it stores each bit of data as long as it constantly gets electric power

 12. DRAM is more expensive than SRAM.

  FALSE

  TRUE

 13. DRAM has a simpler construction compared to SRAM.

  TRUE

  FALSE

 14. Which one consumes less power while in sleep mode?

  They consume no power while in sleep mode

  They consume the same amount of power

  DRAM

  SRAM

 15. DRAM requires less power than SRAM in an active state.

  TRUE

  FALSE
