Page 123 highlights

Dtiver A program that controls a specific piece of equipment in the system. Examples of drivers include expanded memory managers, display drivers, printer drivers, and mouse drivers. IDE Integrated Drive Electronics. A type of hard disk drive interface in which the controller is on the drive instead of on a controller card. Your computer includes an interface on the main system board for up to two IDE hard disk drives. ISA Industry Standard Architecture. The 8- or 16-bit bus standard developed for IBM compatible computers. Jumper A small moveable plug that connects two pins on a device's circuit board. A jumper determines the operation of a particular function. Local bus An internal group of wires that sends information from the microprocessor directly to the video controller in the computer. Local bus video provides increased performance. Memory module A small circuit board, commonly called a SIMM (single inline memory module), that contains surface-mounted memory chips. You can add memory modules to the main system board to expand your computer's memory. 2 Glossary
