serial port
The
data along one wire, and receives data on another single wire (that is, the data
is transmitted in serial form, one bit after another).
SIMM
Single In-line Memory Modules are the most common form of RAM.
They must be installed in pairs, and do not have the carrying capacity or the
speed of DIMMs.
SIMM bank/socket
stick SIMM modules. A pair of SIMM sockets form a SIMM bank, and act as
a unit. If only one socket is filled, the bank will not operate.
Sleep/Suspend mode
In
SRAM
Static RAM, unlike DRAM, does not need to be refreshed in order
to prevent data loss. Thus, it is faster, and more expensive.
Standby mode
In
devices operate normally.
UltraDMA/33
called UltraATA. Without UltraDMA your system cannot take advantage of
the higher data transmission rates of the new UltraATA hard drives.
Universal Serial Bus
function as a serial, parallel, mouse, keyboard, or joystick port. It is fast
enough to support video transfer, and is capable of supporting up to 127
daisy-chained peripheral devices.
VGA
(Video Graphics Array) is the PC video display standard.
V-SYNC
controls the vertical properties of the monitor.
WOL
(Wake-on LAN) is a feature which allows remote power up through a
LAN connection when used in conjunction with a WOL compliant network
adapter and appropriate software. The system "listens" to network activity
even when the computer is off. Special "wake-up" packets sent by another
computer causes the adapter to signal the computer to power up and run a
predefined program.
