| comp., MS | Direct Memory Access, accesso diretto alla memoria | direct memory access (A technology that allows certain devices, such as hard disks and CD or DVD drives, to transfer information directly through the computer's memory without using the computer's processor. DMA improves the performance of the device and frees the computer's processor so it can perform other tasks) |
| comp., MS | Dual Inline Memory Module, modulo di memoria DIMM | dual inline memory module (A type of memory board comprised of RAM chips mounted on a circuit board with a 64-bit data path and pins on each side that are on different circuits and that respond to different signals) |
| comp., MS | Extended Memory Specification | extended memory specification (A specification developed by Lotus, Intel, Microsoft, and AST Research that defines a software interface allowing real-mode applications to use extended memory and areas of memory not managed by MS-DOS. Memory is managed by an installable device driver, the Expanded Memory Manager (EMM). The application must use the driver to access the additional memory) |
| commun., IT, engl. | memory card | memory card |
| IT, tech., engl. | Personal Computer Memory Card International Association | Personal Computer Memory Card International Association |
| comp., MS | Random Access Memory Digital-to-Analog Converter | random access memory digital-to-analog converter (A chip built into some VGA and SVGA video adapters that translates the digital representation of a pixel into the analog information needed by the monitor to display it. The presence of a RAMDAC chip generally enhances overall video performance) |
| comp., MS | Single Inline Memory Module | single inline memory module (A small circuit board, designed to accommodate surface-mount memory chips, with a 32-bit data path and connectors that are on the same circuit and that respond to the same signal) |
| comp., MS | Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module, modulo di memoria SO-DIMM | small outline dual inline memory module (A smaller version of a DIMM used in laptops) |
