hi there!

Discuses, as fully as possible, using where necessary illustrative diagrams, the function, operation and distinguishing characteristics of the following:

1. VLSI chip
2. Flash memory
3. Level 1 & level 2Cache
3. PMCIA card
4. Parallel port
5. Serial prot
6. Bi-directional I/O port
7. A counter or timer chip (and where might this be used in a PC)
8. CMOS
9. ROMBIOS
10. PCI bus
11. ISA bus
12. AGP bus
13. Master/Slaves devices
14. DMA

thank you for your assistance!!!

Not trying to be disrespectful, but you would like to know about an awful lot of stuff. You should, 1.buy a couple of books, 2.try a search engine or two, 3.maybe try Webopedia or one of the other fine hardware reference sites, 4.if all else fails, look through some of the archived posts here, as I'm sure each and every thing you have asked about has been discussed in depth on this board. If when you finish, you still have questions that need to be answered, I'm sure you will get much better results by asking about fewer things at a single sitting. Just a little constructive critism.

Homework assignment, sham?

Never heard of a "serial prot". I would like to know what this is as well. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif

Example: VLSI "Abbreviation of very large-scale integration, the process of placing thousands (or hundreds of thousands) of electronic components on a single chip. Nearly all modern chips employ VLSI architectures, or ULSI (ultra large scale integration). The line between VLSI and ULSI is vague."


mgordon99 You must be online via LAN, DSL, or Cable, certainly not a modem I would think:
Serial Port: Where Cpt. Crunch docks his boat!
