DRAM
Dynamic Random Access Memory
Dynamic RAM is a common type of memory that is often preferable to static RAM despite being slower.
DRAM can hold almost four times the amount of data that static RAM can. DRAM requires continuous
refreshing due to the discharge of its capacitors.
DSTN
Double-Layer Supertwist Nematic
A type of LCD technology that uses a passive matrix with two display layers. The arrangement of the
layers helps to mitigate color shifting that occurs with other displays.
ECP
Extended Capabilities Port
ECP is a standard developed by HP and Microsoft to support bidirectional parallel port communications
between the system and peripherals.
ESD
Electrostatic Discharge
A situation in which static electricity is transferred through human hands into sensitive electronic
components, resulting in damage. ESD damage is usually caused by working on sensitive electronic
equipment in an ungrounded environment.
FCC
Federal Communications Commission
