male DB-9 connector.
DDR
Double Data Rate refers to a data bus transferring data on both the
rising and falling edges of the clock signal.
DMA
Direct Memory Access (DMA) enables some peripheral devices to
bypass the system processor and communicate directly with the
system memory.
DIMM
Dual Inline Memory Modules are a type of RAM that offer a 64-bit data
bus and have separate electrical contacts on each side of the module.
EHCI
The Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI) specification is a
register-level interface description for USB 2.0 Host Controllers.
FSB
The Front Side Bus (FSB) is the bi-directional communication channel
between the processor and the Northbridge chipset.
GbE
Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) is an Ethernet version that transfers data at 1.0
Gbps and complies with the IEEE 802.3-2005 standard.
HDD
Hard disk drive (HDD) is a type of magnetic, non-volatile computer
storage device that stores digitally encoded data.
HyperTransport™
The HyperTransport™ bus, which uses HyperTransport™ technology.
Bus
interfaces an AMD CPU with the Northbridge. HyperTransport™
technology provides a high-speed, low latency, point-to-point link
between the CPU and the Northbridge.
L1 Cache
The Level 1 Cache (L1 Cache) is a small memory cache built into the
system processor.
L2 Cache
The Level 2 Cache (L2 Cache) is an external processor memory
cache.
MAC
The Media Access Control (MAC) protocol enables several terminals
or network nodes to communicate in a LAN, or other multipoint
networks.
