32-bit length
The length of the internal data path of the CPU. This length provides more
concentrated data, allows more data types, and enables more data to be
transferred at one time than a 16-bit internal data path.

video terminal
A terminal that displays information on the screen of a cathode ray tube
(CRT). Compare to Hard-copy terminal.
VLSI
Very Large Scale Integration of integrated circuit chips. A large number of
chips can fit on a printed circuit board; therefore, fewer boards are needed,
and the system can be smaller.
