Here are some questions that test your working knowledge of how fast computers operate. Is disk drive access time normally measured in milliseconds (thousandths of a second) or microseconds (millionths of a second)? Does your RAM memory access a word in more or less than one microsecond? How many instructions can your CPU execute in one year if the machine is left running at full speed all the time? DO NOT use paper or a calculator to derive your answers.
