Latency is the amount of time that one part of a system spends waiting for another part to catch up This is most common when the system sends data out to a peripheral device and is waiting for the peripheral to send some data back peripherals tend to be slower than onboard system components NVRAM ROM and EEPROM are both examples of Non Volatile RAM memory that holds its data without power DRAM in contrast is volatile OEMs Original Equipment Manufacturers like Compaq or IBM package other companies motherboards and hardware inside their case and sell them The parallel port transmits the bits of a byte on eight different wires at the same time that is in parallel form eight bits at the same time PCI Peripheral Component Interconnect is a 32 bit local bus data pathway which is faster than the ISA bus Local buses are those which operate within a single system as opposed to a network bus which connects multiple systems 2060 Tomcat i815e 55 AYVSSO19 Glossary PCI PIO PCI Programmable Input Output modes are the data transfer modes used by IDE drives These modes use the CPU for data transfer DMA channels do not PCI refers to the type of bus used by these modes to communicate with the CPU PCI to PCI bridge allows you to connect multiple PCI devices onto one PCI slot Pipeline burst SRAM is a fast secondary cache It is used as a secondary cache because SRAM is slower than SDRAM but usually larger Data i
