|
AUDIO PORTS – AUDIO JACKS, OR Audio connectors
|
electrical connectors for carrying audio signalsof either analog or digital format. Analog A/V connectors often use Shielded cable to inhibit radio frequency interference (RFI) and noise.
|
|
|
BLUETOOTH
|
wireless technology enables communication between Bluetooth-compatible devices. It is used for short-range connections between desktop and laptop computers, PDAs (like the Palm Pilot or Handspring Visor), digital cameras, scanners, cellular phones, and printers.
|
|
|
CACHE
|
Pronounced like "cash" A cache stores recently-used information in a place where it can be accessed extremely fast. For example, a Web browser like Internet Explorer uses a cache to store the pages, images, and URLs of recently visted Web sites on your hard drive
|
|
|
DIMM
|
"Dual In-Line Memory Module." It is a type of computer memory. A DIMM is a small circuit board that holds memory chips
|
|
|
DRAM-
|
Dynamic Random Access Memory." DRAM is a type of RAM that stores each bit of data on a separate capacitor. This is an efficient way to store data in memory, because it requires less physical space.
|
|
|
EEPROM
|
Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory and is a type of non-volatile memory used in computers and other electronic devices to store small amounts of data that must be saved when power is removed, e.g., calibration tables or device configuration.
|
|
|
EPROM
|
- (Erasable Programmable ROM) A rewritable memory chip that holds its content without power
|
|
|
ETHERNET
|
Ethernet is the most common type of connection computers use in a local area network (LAN). An Ethernet port looks much like a regular phone jack, but it is slightly wider. This port can be used to connect your computer to another computer, a local network, or an external DSL or cable modem.
|
|
|
FIRE WIRE
|
This high-speed interface can be used to connect devices such as digital video cameras, hard drives, audio interfaces, and MP3 players, such as the Apple iPod, to your computer. A standard Firewire connection can transfer data at 400 Mbps ( Megabits Per Second), which is roughly 30 times faster than a USB
|
|
|
HARD DRIVE
|
drive is what stores all your data. It houses the hard disk, where all your files and folders are physically located.
|
