E
ECC memory
Error Checking and Correcting memory. Advanced type of memory
that can find and correct certain types of single-bit memory errors,
providing greater data integrity. Advanced ECC can correct some
double-bit errors.
ECP
Extended Capabilities Port. A parallel-port standard for PCs that
supports bidirectional communication between the PC and attached
devices (such as a printer). ECP is about 10 times faster than the
older Centronics standard. Another modern parallel port for PCs that
offers similar performance is the EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port).
EDO memory
Extended Data Out memory. A faster type of asynchronous computer
memory that holds its last-requested data in a cache after releasing it.
EDO memory is designed for use with the Intel Pentium and Pentium
II processors.
EIDE
Extended Integrated Drive Electronics. The EIDE specification is an
enhanced version of IDE that allows for faster transfer rates and
supports larger hard drive sizes
enhanced VGA
A video interface that offers more colors or higher resolution than
VGA.
EPP
Enhanced Parallel Port, a parallel port standard for PCs that supports
bidirectional communication between the PC and attached device
(such as a printer). EPP is about 10 times faster than the older
Centronics standard. Another modern parallel port for PCs that offers
similar performance is the ECP (Extended Capabilities Port).
extended RAM
The area of RAM above the first megabyte of memory in the system
available for enhancing system performance.
