Amazing videos, and as an aspiring cert hunter in the tech field this gives me a wide variety of info that is completely relevant to the real world and test as well.

Ha! I love the Stargate references on the image around the 6 minute mark.

Great video from Prof Messer. These videos have been my computer Bible. Can't do without studying it all time. My question is: I'm about purchasing a home use computer for my private studying and I want to integrate virtualization into it. I found one on eBay ( it has Intel core i5- 2400 processor, 4GB Ram, 500G HDD, 3.1Ghz ) I want to know if this processor type would allow me to run Hyper-V for my private studying.

The applications running on the OS need to be 64 bit for a 64 bit OS ?

[Frederic_Lord]

Can we use the on-die GPU to optimize performance of the seperate graphic adapter?

[puns_intended]

So if my computer did not have hyperthreadiing capabilities, would the threads being inputted and outputted be cut in half?

[daniellee]

Is there any Linux distribution that supports hyper-threading?

[ghouldash]

Are there other ways of taking the A+ Exam? I'm currently at Job Corps and it's not really hands-on.

[Selrahcthewise]

since the northbridge is now integrated into the CPU itself, in future exams would it still be a testable topic?

[VictorKidd]

I would still prefer a good video card for better graphics and whatnot even if I had an AMU
