2-3-1 Glossary
Chipset (or core logic) - two or more integrated circuits which control the interfaces between
the system processor, RAM, I/O devises, and adapter cards.
Processor slot/socket - the slot or socket used to mount the system processor on the
motherboard.
Slot (AGP, PCI, ISA, RAM) - the slots used to mount adapter cards and system RAM.
PCI - P eripheral C omponent I nterconnect - a high speed interface for video cards, sound cards,
network interface cards, and modems; runs at 33MHz.
ISA - I ndustry S tandard A rchitecture - a relatively low speed interface primarily used for
sound cards and modems; runs at approx. 8MHz.
Serial Port - a low speed interface typically used for mouse and external modems.
Parallel Port - a low speed interface typically used for printers.
PS/2 - a low speed interface used for mouse and keyboards.
USB - U niversal S erial B us - a medium speed interface typically used for mouse, keyboards,
scanners, and some digital cameras.
Sound (interface) - the interface between the sound card or integrated sound connectors and
speakers, MIC, game controllers, and MIDI sound devices.
LAN (interface) - L ocal A rea N etwork - the interface to your local area network.
BIOS ( B asic I nput/ O utput S ystem) - the program logic used to boot up a computer and
establish the relationship between the various components.
Driver - software, which defines the characteristics of a device for use by another device or
other software.
Processor - the "central processing unit" (CPU); the principal integrated circuit used for doing
the "computing" in "personal computer"
Front Side Bus Frequency - the working frequency of the motherboard, which is generated
by the clock generator for CPU, DRAM and PCI BUS.
CPU L2 Cache - the flash memory inside the CPU, normally Athlon CPU has 256K or above,
while Duron will have 64K.
