    Appendices Appendix-3 Technical Terms AC’97 AC’97 is a device designed to include a digital processor for modem and an audio CODEC for analog I/O. These two parts are linked to- gether by AC’97 link bus. Putting the digital processor into the main system chipset will reduce the cost of sound/modem onboard solution.
  • Page 93 Appendices ATAPI (AT Attachment Packet Interface) This is the exension of the EIDE (extended IDE) that enables the in- terface to support CD-ROM players and tape drives. BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) BIOS is a set of assembly routine/program that resides in EPROM or Flash ROM.
  • Page 94 Appendices DIMM (Dual In Line Memory Module) DIMM socket is built with a 168-pin assignment and supports 64-bit data. DIMM can be single or double sided. The golden finger signals on each side of the module are different, and that is why it is called Dual In Line.
  • Page 95 Appendices FC-PGA (Flip Chip-Pin Grid Array) FC means Flip Chip, while FC-PGA is a new package of Intel for Pentium III CPU. It is compatible with SKT370 socket, but requires mainboard to add some signals on socket 370. Flash ROM Flash ROM can be re-programmed by electronic signals.
  • Page 96 Appendices the data transfer rate of PC-133 and hence provides data transfer band- width up to 133x64/8x2=2100MB/s. PCI (Peripheral Component Interface) Bus A high speed data channel for the internal connection of peripheral devices and the computer system through a PCI expansion card. PnP (Plug and Play) The PnP specification suggests a standard register interface for both BIOS and operating system (such as Windows 95).
  • Page 97 Appendices RIMM (Rambus Inline Memory Module) RIMM is built with a 184-pin architecture module that supports RDRAM memory technology. A RIMM memory module may contain up to maximum of 16 RDRAM devices. SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) SDRAM is one of the Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) technologies that allow DRAM to use the same clock as the CPU host clock (EDO and FPM are asynchronous and do not have clock signal).
  • Page 98 Appendices USB (Universal Serial Bus) USB is a 4-pin serial peripheral bus that is capable of cascading low/ medium speed peripherals (less than 10Mbit/s) such as keyboard, mouse, joystick, scanner, printer and modem. VCM (Virtual Channel Memory) NEC’s Virtual Channel Memory (VCM) is a new DRAM core archi- tecture that dramatically improves the memory system’s ability to ser- vice multimedia requirements.
