SIMM bank / socket SIMM sockets are the physical slots into which you 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.
In Sleep / Suspend mode, all devices except the CPU shut down.
SRAM (Static RAM), unlike DRAM, does not need to be refreshed in order to
prevent data loss. Thus, it is faster, and more expensive.
In Standby mode, the video and fixed disk drive shut down; all other devices operate
normally.
UltraDMA 33 / 66 / 100 is a fast version of the old DMA channel. UltraDMA is also
called UltraATA. Without UltraDMA your system cannot take advantage of the higher
data transmission rates of the new UltraATA hard drives.
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a versatile port type that can 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.
ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) sockets make it possible to insert CPUs without damaging
the sensitive pins. The CPU is lightly placed in an open ZIF socket, and the metal
lever pulled down. This shifts the processor over and down, guiding it into place on the
board.
