PnP (Plug and Play)
Oversimplified, Plug-and-Play automatically tells the software (device drivers) where to find various pieces of hardware (devices) such as
modems, network cards, sound cards, etc. Plug-and-Play's task is to match up physical devices with the software (device drivers) that
operates them and to establish channels of communication between each physical device and its driver.
POST (Power-On Self Test)
The BIOS self-test procedure after power-on, sometimes, it is the first or the second screen shown on your monitor during system boot.
PSB (Processor System Bus) Clock
PSB Clock means the external bus clock of CPU.
CPU internal clock = CPU PSB Clock x CPU Clock Ratio
RDRAM (Rambus Dynamic Random Access Memory)
A DRAM technology developed by Rambus Corporation*, to achieve high speed of memory through the use of multiple channels in parallel
by 16-bits. Basically, RDRAM uses new structure of Multibank, which is quite different from FPM, EDO, SDRAM. Using different memory
module as well, RDRAM uses "RIMM" with transfer rate of 600/700/800MHz, providing bandwidth as high to 1.6GB.
RIMM (Rambus Inline Memory Module)
184-pin memory module that supports RDRAM memory technology. A RIMM memory module may contain up to maximum of 16 RDRAM
