| AGP | AGP Shorts for Accelerated Graphics Port, which is an interface specification developed by Intel Corporation. It introduces a dedicated point-to-point channel so that the graphics controller can directly access main memory. The AGP channel has a total bandwidth of 266 MBps, as opposed to the PCI bandwidth of 133 MBps. |

| Cache Memory | Cache memory is a relatively small amount of high speed memory that resides very close to the CPU. Cache memory is designed to supply the CPU with the most frequently requested data and instructions |
| | |
| CPU | CPU stands for central processing unit. It is the most important element of a computer system. The clock speed is the term used to measure the power of a CPU |
| | |
| DIMM | Like SIMMs, most DIMMs install vertically into expansion sockets. The principal difference between the two is that on a SIMM, pins on opposite sides of the board are "tied together" to form one electrical contact; on a DIMM, opposing pins remain electrically isolated to form two separate contacts. |

| Motherboard | Motherboard contains the CPU and memory interface, serial, parallel ports and expansion slots. |
| | |
| PCI | PCI is short for Peripheral Component Interconnect. It specifies a computer bus for attaching peripheral devices, such as PCI graphic card, sound card or any other types of cards to a computer motherboard. |
| | |
| Pipeline | Pipelining is a computer processing technique where a task is divided into a series of stages with some of the work completed at each stage. |
| | |
| SIMM | The term SIMM stands for Single In-Line Memory Module. With SIMMs, memory chips are soldered onto a modular printed circuit board (PCB), which inserts into a socket on the system board. |
| | |
| SODIMM | A type of memory commonly used in notebook computers is called SO DIMM or Small Outline DIMM. The principal difference between a SO DIMM and a DIMM is that the SO DIMM, because it is intended for use in notebook computers, is significantly smaller than the standard DIMM. |
