SVGA
Super VGA. Standard that provides 800x600 pixel
resolution and a palette of 16M colors.
S-Video
Super Video. A component video system for driving a
TV or computer monitor.
System Clock
An oscillator of fixed precise frequency which
synchronizes the operation of the system and is counted
to provide time of day and date.
TFT

tion that tests and certifies the electrical safety of devices.
UMA
Unified Memory Architecture. A computer architecture
that uses graphics chips on the motherboard that use
part of the main memory for video memory.
USB
Universal Serial Bus. The USB 2.0 specification is a
peripheral bus standard for connecting external devices
at up to 480 Mbps. Some features of the standard
include support for up to 127 concurrent USB devices,
dynamic insertion and removal of devices, and self-iden-
tifying peripheral configuration for true plug-and-play
functionality. USB 1.0 connects external devices at up to
11 Mbps. USB 2.0 is backward-compatible with USB 1.0
devices to allow you to connect older devices to the
ports.
