CPU
— Central processing unit. See
processor
.
DC
— Direct current.
DDR
— Double-data rate. A technology in memory modules that potentially doubles
the data rate by transferring data on both the rising and falling pulses of a clock cycle.
device driver
— A program that allows the operating system or some other program to
interface correctly with a peripheral.
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

DNS
— Domain Name System. A method of translating Internet domain names, such
as
www.example.com
, into IP addresses, such as 208.77.188.166.
DRAM
— Dynamic random-access memory. A system’s RAM is usually made up
entirely of DRAM chips.
