If you studied don't sweat it. It's not all that hard. Just relax and you'll be fine.

Good Luck.

Im just curious if they are gonna ask me a bunch of stuff on older processors, such as bus width/speed and such like that. Im really not that great with older processors.

I didnt see anything like that, however the test has a randomization engine and I hear there are a few thousand questions that can be thrown at you so no test is really ever the same, so it's best to be thorough.

I am not sure what is contained in the New A+, but i bet you can hop on over to comptia and they will tell you everything they expect you to know

On second thought.. They are pretty basic in what they expect you to know regarding processors. It's been ahwhile since i took my test, but if i recall i didnt get asked too many questions regarding processors. But like he said, it is a random generator.. (oh wait, my test was the old style one that only asks like 20-25 questions, and based on how you answered them is how you scored..) Needless to say, i did absolutely nothing to help you!!! sorry..
