Bit
A shortened reference to
represents a quantity that can have only one of two possible values, such as
true or false, or 0 or 1.
Boot Sequence
Allows you to specify the order of the devices from which the system attempts
to boot.
bps
Bits per second. A measurement of data transmission speed.
Bps
Bytes per second. A measurement of data transmission speed.
BTU
British Thermal Unit. A measurement of thermal energy that equals
approximately 1055 joules (or 1055 watt-seconds), or the amount of thermal
energy necessary to raise the temperature of one pound of pure liquid water
by one degree F at the temperature at which water has its greatest density
(39 °F).
Bus
An electronic pathway that links computer components such as the
microprocessor, RAM, expansion
indicates the amount of data that can move along the bus and is determined
by the number of parallel conductors in the bus. For example, a 32-bit bus
has 32 conductors and can move 32
Bus Speed
The speed, given in MHz, that indicates how fast a
information. For example,
bus speed is 66 MHz. Intel Pentium®
or 100 MHz. The microprocessor operating speed is determined by a
combination of the bus speed and multiplier; for example, 100 MHz bus speed
x 4.5 multiplier = 450 MHz microprocessor speed.
Byte
A measurement of data storage that equals eight contiguous
information.
C
Celsius. A measurement of temperature that equals the conversion formula
(Tf - 32) * (5 / 9), where Tf equals temperature in F.
binary digit. A bit is the smallest unit of storage and
cards, and so on. The "width" of a bus
