What is system bus?
System bus speed in microprocessors is the speed at which a processor sends/receives data from the motherboard's memory controller. It is also called the Front Side Bus (FSB) speed in the case of Intel CPUs.
What is asynchronous memory?
This refers to the fact that the memory is not synchronized to the system clock. A memory access is begun, and a certain period of time later the memory value appears on the bus. The signals are not coordinated with the system clock at all.
What type of motherboard bus carries memory locations?
address bus
What is the difference between asynchronous dram and synchronous dram?
Conventional DRAM, of the type that has been used in PCs since the original IBM PC days, is said to be asynchronous. This refers to the fact that the memory is not synchronized to the system clock. A memory access is begun, and a certain period of time later the memory value appears on the bus. The signals are not coordinated with the system clock at all, as described in the section discussing memory access. Asynchronous memory works fine in lower-speed memory bus systems but is not nearly as suitable for use in high-speed (>66 MHz) memory systems. A newer type of DRAM, called "synchronous DRAM" or "SDRAM", is synchronized to the system clock; all signals are tied to the clock so timing is much tighter and better controlled. This type of memory is much faster than asynchronous DRAM and can be used to improve the performance of the system. It is more suitable to the higher-speed memory systems of the newest PCs.
What are disadvantages of dram?
DRAM is a asynchronous,it does not synchronized with system bus
Main feature of SDRAM?
SDRAM or Synchronous dynamic random access memory is unique because it waits for a clock signal before it makes changes which means that is is synchronized with the system bus
What memory type is known to synchronize itself with a computer's system bus?
SDRAM
Define a system bus in a PC?
The bus between the CPU and memory on the motherboard. Also called the memory bus, front-side bus, local bus, or host bus.
What is SATA and DDR memory?
These are different and unrelated terms. SATA is a bus for connecting data storage devices to a motherboard. DDR is a type of memory.
What is the Main Function Of System Bus?
The bus between the CPU and memory on the motherboard. Also called the memory bus, front-side bus, local bus, or host bus.
What is the functional of a bus?
The bits of address bus inform the memory(Ram) which particular element is to be read or write in memory.
What two parts make up the motherboard chipset?
Generally there are Northbridge and Southbridge (aka ICH for Intel motherboards) components. Answer: Chipset Is made up of the North Bridge and South Bridge Architecture, They are groups of Integrated Circuits (IC)'s; these two groups of Integrated Circuits Represent the computers nervous system, all data must pass through the Chipset. 1. Faster components are connected to the North Bridge. · CPU(Central Processing Unit) Ø CPU connected to North Bridge using the Front side Bus (Bus Type: Local) Ø Tip: (Know the speed of your Front side Bus!). · RAM (Random Access Memory) Ø RAM connected to North Bridge using the Memory Bus (Bus Type: Local) Ø Tip: (Know the speed of your Memory Bus!). · L2 Cache (Type of memory) Ø L2 Cache connected to North Bridge using Backside Bus (Bus Type: Local) Ø Tip: (Know the speed of your Backside Bus!). · AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) (Bus Type: Local Video)1. The North Bridge is connected to the South Bridge thru the PCI Bus Ø PCI Slots Are connected to the PCI Bus( plug N Play) (Bus Type: Local) Ø Tip: (Know the speed of your PCI Bus!). 1. Slower components are connected to the South Bridge · Keyboard (Bus Type: Expansion) · Mouse (Bus Type: Expansion) · USB (Bus Type: Expansion) · IEEE 1394 Fire wire (Bus Type: Expansion) · EIDE (devices) (Bus Type: Expansion) Although the North Bridge South Bridge Architecture is still used, it's an old and Replaced Solution. Newer Faster Solution: HUB Architecture
