power consumption. PCs usually contain a small amount of battery-powered CMOS
memory to retain the date, time, and system setup parameters.
DRAM (Dynamic RAM)
A most common type of computer memory. It usually uses one transistor and a
capacitor to represent a bit. As the development of technology, the memory type and
specification used in computer becomes variety, such as SDRAM, DDR SDRAM, and
RDRAM. For further instruction, please see the table below:

DVI
1) Short for Digital Visual Interface, a digital interface standard created by the Digital
Display Working Group (DDWG) to convert analog signals into digital signals to
accommodate both analog and digital monitors.
2) Short for Digital Video Interactive, a now-defunct technology developed by General
Electric that enables a computer to store and display moving video images like those on
television.
IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics)
A type of disk-drive interface widely used to connect hard disks, CD-ROMs and tape
drives to a PC, in which the controller electronics is integrated into the drive itself,
eliminating the need for a separate adapter card. The IDE interface is known as the
ATA (AT Attachment) specification.
