Glossary Glossary Glossary ACPI (Advanced Configuration & Power Interface) This power management specification enables the OS (operating system) to control the amount of power given to each device attached to the computer. Windows 98/98SE, Windows 2000 and Windows ME can fully support ACPI to allow users managing the system power flexibly. - Page 97 Glossary example, a modem chipset contains all the primary circuits for transmitting and receiv- ing data; a PC chipset provides the electronic interfaces between all subsystems. CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) CMOS is a widely used type of semiconductor, which features high speed and low power consumption.
- Page 98 Glossary ECC Memory (error correcting code memory) A type of memory that contains special circuitry for testing the accuracy of data and correcting the errors on the fly. 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.
- Page 99 Glossary PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) A local bus standard developed by Intel that first appeared on PCs in late 1993. PCI provides “plug and play” capability and allows IRQs to be shared. The PCI controller can exchange data with the system's CPU either 32 bits or 64 bits at a time. PnP (Plug and Play) A set of specifications that allows a PC to configure itself automatically to work with peripherals.
