Local bus provides a new way for the CPU to communicate with peripherals. The original ISA
expansion bus was designed to run at 8MHz. As processor speeds increased to 50MHz, and faster,
the bus speed stayed at 8MHz. Local bus is designed to transmit 32 bits of data at the local speed of a
PC’s processor. A PC with a local bus normally uses this high-speed circuit for display adapters or
disk controllers, where speed is most crucial. Slower conventional expansion slots are used to
communicate with the modem and sound card, where speed is not crucial.
A multimedia system comes with a sound card and CD-ROM drive installed, and has outstanding
sound and graphics capabilities. A computer CD can store vast amounts of information because it
uses light to record data in a form that’s more tightly packed than conventional magnetic media. A
multimedia system allows software to combine sound and graphics simultaneously, including video,
film clips and animation. Multimedia systems enhance learning and entertainment by involving more
of your senses. The ActionTower 2000 systems come in a minitower configuration with multimedia
equipment and software.
