kurosen Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 Well it took long enough for everyone to catch on And I just realized no one wrote the most important definition!!!! (first one below) Overclock, OC To raise the clock speed of an electrical component. Namely a graphics processing unit, central processing unit, or memory module by raising the front side bus (FSB) and/or the multiplier. Rig Slang for computer system Hard Drive, HDD Abbreviation for Hard Disk Drive. The primary device a computer uses to permanently write, save and retrieve data. Motherboard, MOBO The main circuit board inside a computer, containing the central processing unit, the bus, memory sockets, expansion slots, and integrated peripheral devices. Random Access Memory RAM, the most common computer memory which can be used by programs to perform necessary tasks while the computer is on. PCI Peripheral Component Interconnect. An interconnection system between a CPU and attached devices in which expansion slots are spaced closely for high-speed operation. AGP Accelerated Graphics Port. An interface specification that enables 3-D graphics to display quickly on personal computers. AGP is based on PCI, but is designed especially for the high throughput requirements of 3-D graphics. Rather than using the PCI bus for graphics data, AGP introduces a dedicated point-to-point channel so that the graphics controller can directly access main memory -------------------- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
