CRT
Cathode Ray Tube. A display device which uses a beam
of electronic particles striking a luminescent screen. It
produces a visual image by varying the position and
intensity of the beam.
Data
The information a system stores and processes.
DC
Direct current. A voltage or current that does not
fluctuate periodically with time.
Default Value
A pre programmed value to be used if you fail to set your
own.
DHCP

A protocol used to automatically acquire parameters
required for the communication, such as IP address.
The sender of IP address is called a DHCP server, and
the receiver is called a DHCP client.
DIMM

DISE
Drive Image Special Edition.
A utility that allows you to restore the original factory
image on your hard drive in the event of corruption or
accidental erasure of files or applications.
Disk

platter is very stiff it is a hard drive, if it is highly flexible
it is a floppy disk, if it is a floppy disk in a hard housing
with a shutter it is commonly called a diskette.
Disk Drive
The hardware which spins the disk and has the heads
and control circuitry for reading and writing the data

DVMT
Dynamic Video Memory Technology
A video memory architecture that increases the
efficiency of the motherboard by using innovative
memory utilization and direct AGP.
ECP
Extended Capability Port. A set of standards for high
speed data communication and interconnection
between electronic devices.
Encryption Key (Network Key)
Key information used to encode data for data transfer.
This device uses the same encryption key to encode and
decode the data, and the identical encryption key is
required between the sender and receiver.
ESD
