| 2 | Evaluate the resources available in a variety of computer systems. | These should include: mainframes, servers, PCs, sub-laptops, as well as personal digital devices such as cell phones, PDAs and digital cameras. AIM 9 Develop an appreciation of the issues linked to resource availability with continued developments in computer systems. | |
| 3 | Identify the limitations of a range of resources in a specified computer system. | For example, single processor computers may not be able to render 3D graphics effectively. | |
| 4 | Describe the possible problems resulting from the limitations in the resources in a computer system. | For example, user time wasted if the primary memory is too small or processor speed inadequate. Multi-access and multi- programming environments should be considered as well as single-user systems. |
