Motherboards: For use in home theatre systems. Will fit into any case with ATX mount points. (6.7 x 6.7”) | Mini ITX |
Connection between CPU and internal cache memory | Back Side Bus |
Expansion Slots: 32 & 64-bit verisons. Speeds up to 533 MB/s. Frequencies are 33 or 66 Mhz. Voltage can be 3.3v or 5v. | Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) |
Expansion Slots: This type of expansion slot uses serial communication (data sent in byte streams), there is no external clock signal and can have multiple two-way lanes which allow the device to send and receive data at the same time. | PCI Express (PCIe) |
Expansion Slots: For laptop expansion cards. 32-bit with 33MHz bus. | Mini PCI |
This connects the CPU in newer chipsets in place of the front side bus. | Direct Media Interface Bus (DMI) |
Expansion Slots: Legacy port for graphics cards.up to 2133 MB/s without competing with other PCI device data transfers. Always 66MHz | Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) |
CPU Chipsets: Also called memory controller hub (MCH) is the primary interface for high-speed devices such as the CPU, RAM and a dedicated graphics slot. On newer processors, the _________ bridge functions have been taken over by the CPU. | North Bridge |
Expansion Slots: Improvement on PCI reaching up to 1064MB/s. Not commonly used on desktop systems, although they were once used in some servers. | PCI extended (PCI-X) |
Expansion Slots: PCIe slot for laptop computers. | Mini PCIe |
Connection between CPU and supporting chipset on motherboard. | Front Side Bus (FSB) |
Expansion Slots: Primary standard in use today, replaces PCI, AGP and PCI-X on many motherboards. Can reach speeds up to 2GB/s on multiple lanes simultaneously | PCI Express (PCIe) |
CPU Chipsets: The ________ bridge provides an interface to low speed devices and is also called the I/O controller hub (ICH). | South Bridge |
Name for Intel hardware assited virtualization feature. | VT-x |
Name for AMD hardware assisted virtualization. | AMD-V |
RAM: Uses double pumping to double the data rate of SDRAM. | DDR RAM (Double Data Rate) |
RAM: Doubles the data rate of DDR2. It can transfer 4x the data of DDR and 8x that of SDRAM. | DDR3 |
RAM: Doubles the data rate of DDR. In addition to double pumping, it modifies the way that data is processed and can transfer twice as much data as DDR SDRAM. | DDR2 |
This RAM uses switching circuitry rather than capacitors and can hold a charge without a constant refresh. It requires more components per bit making it more expensive, however it’s quicker than DRAM. | SRAM (Static RAM) |
Dynamic RAM synchronized with a clock for faster speeds. | SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic RAM) |
Number of Pins on DDR DIMM | 184 |

SATA I - Max Speed | 1.5 Gb/s or 150 MB/s |
SATA III - Max Speed | 6.0 Gb/s or 600 MB/s |
Another name for LGA 1156 | Socket H (or H1) |
USB 2.0 maximum transfer rate | 480 Mb/s |
Another name for LGA 2011. | Socket R |
