							GLOSSARY
Glossary-4
C
cache memory:  High speed memory
which stores data that increases
processor speed and data transfer rate.
When the CPU reads data from main
memory, it stores a copy of this data in
cache memory. The next time the CPU
needs that same data, it looks for it in
the cache memory rather than the main
memory, which saves time. The
computer has two cache levels. Level
one is incorporated into the processor
and level two resides in external
memory.

CardBus: An industry standard bus for
32-bit PC Cards.
capacity:  The amount of data that can
be stored on a magnetic storage device
such as a diskette (floppy disk) or hard

kilobytes (KB), where one KB = 1024
bytes and megabytes (MB), where one
MB = 1024 KB.
CD-ROM:  A Compact Disk-Read
Only Memory is a high capacity disk
that can be read from but not written
to.  The CD-ROM drive uses a laser,
rather than magnetic heads, to read
data from the disk.

whose method of data transmission
between a parallel printer and a
computer has become an industry
standard.CGA:  Color/graphics adapter. A video
