Conventional memory is found in all systems. Unless they are specially designed, MS-DOS® programs are limited to running in conventional memory. coprocessor - A chip that relieves the system's processor of specific processing tasks. A math coprocessor, for example, handles numeric processing. CPU - Central processing unit. See processor. DC - Direct current. DDR - Double-data rate. A technology in memory modules that potentially doubles the output. device driver - A program that allows the operating system or some other program to interface correctly with a peripheral. Some device drivers-such as network drivers-must be loaded from the config.sys file or as memory-resident programs (usually, from the autoexec.bat file). Others must load when you start the program for which they were designed. DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A method of automatically assigning an IP address to a client system. diagnostics - A comprehensive set of tests for your system. DIMM - Dual in-line memory module. See also memory module. DIN - Deutsche Industrie Norm. directory - Directories help keep related files organized on a disk in a hierarchical, "inverted tree" structure. Each disk has a "root" directory.
