EIDE
Enhanced IDE (EIDE) is a newer IDE interface standard that has data
transfer rates between 4.0 MBps and 16.6 MBps.
EIST
Enhanced Intel® SpeedStep Technology (EIST) allows users to modify
the power consumption levels and processor performance through
application software. The application software changes the bus-to-core
frequency ratio and the processor core voltage.
FSB
The Front Side Bus (FSB) is the bi-directional communication channel
between the processor and the Northbridge chipset.
GbE
Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) is an Ethernet version that transfers data at 1.0
Gbps and complies with the
IEEE 802.3-2005 standard.
GPIO
General purpose input
HDD
Hard disk drive (HDD) is a type of magnetic, non-volatile computer
storage device that stores digitally encoded data.
ICH
The Input/Ouput Controll Hub (ICH) is an Intel® Southbridge chipset.
IrDA
Infrared Data Association (IrDA) specify infrared data transmission
protocols used to enable electronic devices to wirelessly communicate
with each other.
L1 Cache
The Level 1 Cache (L1 Cache) is a small memory cache built into the
system processor.
L2 Cache
The Level 2 Cache (L2 Cache) is an external processor memory cache.
LCD
Liquid crystal display (LCD) is a flat, low-power display device that
consists of two polarizing plates with a liquid crystal panel in between.
LVDS
Low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) is a dual-wire, high-speed
differential electrical signaling system commonly used to connect LCD
displays to a computer.
RAM
Random Access Memory (RAM) is volatile memory that loses data when
power is lost. RAM has very fast data transfer rates compared to other
storage like hard drives.
