SMBus is also called I
C bus. It is a two-wire bus developed for component communication (especially for semiconductor IC). For
example, set clock of clock generator for jumper-less motherboard. The data transfer rate of SMBus is only 100Kbit/s, it allows one
host to communicate with CPU and many masters and slaves to send/receive message.

A Universal Serial Bus (USB) is an external bus (an interconnection) standard that supports data transfer rates of 12 Mbps. A single
USB port can be used to connect up to 127 peripheral devices, such as mouse, modems and keyboards. Introduced in 1996, USB
has completed replaced serial and parallel ports. It also supports plug-and-play installations and hot plugging Plug-and-play is the
ability to add and remove devices to a computer while the computer is running and have the operating system automatically
recognize the change. USB 2.0, which supports data transfer rates of 480 Mbps, has been widely used in motherboard these days.

NEC's Virtual Channel Memory (VCM) is a new DRAM core architecture that dramatically improves the memory system's ability to
service multimedia requirements. VCM increases memory bus efficiency and performance of any DRAM technology by providing a
set of fast static registers between the memory core and I/O pins. Using VCM technology results in reduced data access latency
