The EDO RAM chips are also faster than
fast-page mode RAM chips.
((3520
Acronym for electrically erasable pro-
grammable read-only memory.
(*$
Abbreviation for enhanced graphics
adapter.
(,6$
Acronym for Extended Industry-Standard
Architecture, a 32-bit expansion-bus de-
sign. The expansion-card connectors in an
EISA computer are also compatible with
8- or 16-bit ISA expansion cards.
To avoid a configuration conflict when in-
stalling an EISA expansion card, you must
use the EISA Configuration Utility. This
utility allows you to specify which expan-
sion slot contains the card and obtains
information about the card’s required sys-
tem resources from a corresponding EISA
configuration file.
(0&
Abbreviation for Electromagnetic
Compatibility.
(0,
Abbreviation for electromagnetic
interference.

Abbreviation for expanded memory
manager. A software utility that uses ex-
tended memory to emulate expanded
memory on computers with an Intel386
™
or higher microprocessor. See also conven-
tional memory, expanded memory,
extended memory, memory manager,
and XMM.

Abbreviation for Expanded Memory Spec-
ification. See also expanded memory,
memory manager, and XMS.

H[SDQGHGPHPRU\
A technique for accessing RAM above
1 MB. To enable expanded memory on
your computer, you must use an EMM.
You should configure your system to sup-
port expanded memory only if you run
application programs that can use (or
require) expanded memory. See also
conventional memory, EMM, extended
memory, and memory manager.
H[SDQVLRQEXV
Your computer contains an expansion bus
that allows the microprocessor to com-
municate with controllers for peripheral
devices, such as a network card or an in-
ternal modem.
H[SDQVLRQFDUGFRQQHFWRU
A connector on the computer’s system
board for plugging in an expansion card.
H[WHQGHGPHPRU\
RAM above 1 MB. Most software that can
use it, such as Windows, requires that ex-
tended memory be under the control of
an XMM. See also conventional memory,
expanded memory, memory manager,
and XMM.
H[WHUQDOFDFKHPHPRU\
A RAM cache using SRAM chips. Be-
cause SRAM chips operate at several
times the speed of DRAM chips, the
microprocessor can retrieve data and in-
structions faster from external cache
memory than from RAM.
