    I.

    State whether the following statements are true or false:


    1. Main memory and the hard drive form two levels of the computer’s memory hierarchy.
    2. Main memory stores programs and data permanently.
    3. RAM is the main memory of a computer.
    4. It is possible to make memory smaller and faster by placing an even smaller SRAM

    between the cache and the processor.

    5. A random-access memory page table is not a good choice when it comes to storage

    utilization.

    6. The general-purpose registers perform any specific function

    7. Addresses that are used by programmers are called physical addresses.
