Personal Computer Memory Card International
Association (bus). A standard external interconnect bus
which allows peripherals adhering to the standard to be
plugged in and used without further system modification.
PCI Configuration Register
Processor Direct Slot
PCI Host Bridge
A binary address that refers to the actual location of
information stored in secondary storage.
PCI-to-ISA Bridge
An acronym for picture element, and is also called a pel. A
pixel is the smallest addressable graphic on a display screen.

Performance Optimized With Enhanced RISC architecture
(IBM)
The trademark used to describe the Performance Optimized
With Enhanced RISC microprocessor architecture for
Personal Computers developed by the IBM Corporation.
PowerPC is superscalar, which means it can handle more
than one instruction per clock cycle. Instructions can be sent
simultaneously to three types of independent execution
units (branch units, fixed-point units, and floating-point
units), where they can execute concurrently, but finish out
of order. PowerPC is used by Motorola, Inc. under license
from IBM.
The first implementation of the PowerPC family of
microprocessors. This CPU incorporates a memory
management unit with a 256-entry buffer and a 32KB
unified (instruction and data) cache. It provides a 64-bit
data bus and a separate 32-bit address bus. PowerPC 601 is
used by Motorola, Inc. under license from IBM.
