2.  ACPI

3.  Advanced
Configuration and
Power Interface
 ACPI

4.  An open standard
for unified operating
system-centric
device configuration
and power
management.
 ACPI

5.  ADSL

6.  Asymmetrical Digital
Subscriber Line
 ADSL

7.  A type of DSL
broadband
communications
technology used for
connecting to the
Internet. ADSL
allows more data to
be sent over existing
copper telephone
lines (POTS), when
compared to
traditional modem
lines.
 ADSL

8.  AGP

9.  Accelerated
Graphics Port
 AGP

11.  An interface
specification developed
by Intel Corporation.
AGP is based on PCI,
but is designed
especially for the
throughput demands 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.
 AGP

12.  AMD

13.  Advanced Micro
Devices
 AMD

14.  A manufacturer of
chips for personal
computers. AMD is
challenging Intel
with a set of Intel-
compatible
microprocessors.
 AMD

15.  AMR

16.  Audio Modem Riser
 AMR

17.  Create motherboards
without analog I/O
functions. Instead,
these functions are
placed on a separate
card—with the codec
chip--which plugs in
perpendicular to the
motherboard so that
the motherboard and
"riser" card form a
right angle.
 AMR

18.  APIPA

19.  Automatic Private
Internet Protocol
Addressing
 APIPA

20.  With APIPA, DHCP
clients can
automatically self-
configure an IP
address and subnet
mask when a DHCP
server isn't
available.
 APIPA

21.  ARP

22.  Address Resolution
Protocol
 ARP

23.  A network layer
protocol used to
convert an IP
address into a
physical address
(called a DLC
address ), such as
an Ethernet
address.

24.  BIOS

25.  Basic Input/Output
System
 BIOS

26.  The built-in software
that determines what a
computer can do
without accessing
programs from a disk.
On PCs, the BIOS
contains all the code
required to control the
keyboard, display
screen, disk drives,
serial communications,
and a number of
miscellaneous
functions.
 BIOS

27.  BRI

28.  Basic Rate Interface
 BRI

29.  The basic ISDN
configuration, which
consists of two B-
channels that can
carry voice or data
at rate of 64Kbps,
and one D-channel,
which carries call-
control information.
 BRI

30.  BTX

31.  Balanced
Technology
eXtended
 BTX

32.  The BTX
specification
provides new tools
and design space
for developers to lay
out desktop
systems, whether
designing small,
compact systems or
very large,
expandable
systems.

33.  CD-ROM

34.  Compact Disc-
Read Only Memory
 CD-ROM

35.  A type of optical disk
capable of storing
large amounts of
data, up to 1GB,
although the most
common size is
650MB
(megabytes).
 CD-ROM

36.  CD-RW

37.  Compact Disc-
ReWritable
 CD-RW

38.  A type of CD disk
that enables you to
write onto it in
multiple sessions.
 CD-RW

39.  CDFS

40.  Compact Disc File
System
 CDFS

41.  The Windows 95
driver for CD-ROM
players.
 CDFS

42.  CGA

43.  Color/Graphics
Adapter
 CGA

44.  An old graphics
system for PCs.
Introduced in 1981
by IBM, CGA was
the first color
graphics system for
IBM PCs.
 CGA

45.  CMOS

46.  Complementary
Metal-Oxide
Semiconductor
 CMOS

47.  A widely used type
of semiconductor.
 CMOS
