Passed Hardware today

Man i was glad that i passed hardware this morning, i scored 595. which is kinda low but i take that anytime. I got slammed with questions about configurations and troubleshooting and basic networking questions. Not much on IRQ, DMA, I/O addresses or CPUs. I did not feel good during the test, because i did not concentrate on the troubleshooting side of the exam, but surely happy that i came out passing.

From what I remember in the preparation course I took, take note of the various troubleshooting tools in Windows.

msconfig.exe
Defragmenter
I think memtest386 is mentioned...
general "internal and external" DOS commands
Recovery Console
Startup menu options
Computer Management (and all the nice tools contained in it)

That's all I can think of right now. I'll bet anything the OS exam will ask about all those tools...
