UNDERSTANDING HARDWARE COMPTIA A+

Compare and contrast various RAM types and their features.
What is important here is to understand that not every ram is the same and getting them mixed up can damage them. You will need to know SDRAM, DDR, RDRAM, SODIMMS and DIMMS. You’ll need to know about the memory speed, CAS Latency and the different types of Cache.

Install and configure PC expansion cards.
Peripheral Component Interconnect Express. You have the PCI (take off the express part), PCIe x1, PCIe x4, PCIe x8, PCIe x16. You don’t need to go so far as to learn the pinouts but you certainly need to understand that they all have different power draw limits.
90 Minutes to Mastery

In information technology (IT), having a CompTIA Security+ certification is definitely an advantage. You earn your certification by demonstrating mastery of the skills and knowledge that, as CompTIA puts it, “covers network security, compliance and operation security, threats and vulnerabilities as well as application, data and host security. Also included are access control, identity management, and cryptography.”

At 90 minutes for 90 test items (multiple choice and performance-based questions), the $311 exam is not to be taken lightly. The performance-based questions (PBQs), for example, use realistic simulations of various software and programming environments. You have to actually perform tasks. The CompTIA website provides as a sample task the quick formatting of a drive in a Windows 8.1 environment.

Install and configure storage devices and use appropriate media.
Making sure you have enough storage for your games is almost as important as understanding that the different kinds of disks will impact the speed of your games. Learn about IDE, SATA and RAID. What the differences are and for RAID make sure you understand what each level does.

Install various types of CPUs and apply the appropriate cooling methods.
Know about Land Grid Array (LGA) and Pin Grid Array (PGA). Understand about thermal paste, how to apply it and why you should.
