ID

Abbreviation for identification.

interlacing

A technique for increasing video resolution by only up- dating alternate horizontal lines on the screen. Because interlacing can result in noticeable screen flicker, most us- ers prefer noninterlaced video adapter resolutions.

internal microprocessor cache

An instruction and data cache built in to the microprocessor. The Intel486, IntelDX2, and IntelDX4 microprocessors in- clude an 8-KB internal cache. The Pentium microprocessor includes a 16-KB internal cache, which is set up as an 8-KB read-only instruction cache and an 8-KB read/write data cache.

IPX

Acronym for internetwork packet exchange.

IRQ

Abbreviation for interrupt request. A signal that data is about to be sent to or received by a peripheral travels by an IRQ line to the microprocessor. Each peripheral con- nection must be assigned an IRQ number. For example, the first serial port in your computer (COM1) is assigned to IRQ4 by default. Two devices can share the same IRQ assignment, but you cannot operate both devices simultaneously.

ISA

Acronym for Industry-Standard Architecture. A 16-bit ex- pansion bus design. The expansion-card connectors in an ISA computer are also compatible with 8-bit ISA expan- sion cards.

ITE

Abbreviation for information technology equipment.

JEIDA

Acronym for Japanese Electronic Industry Development Association.

K

Abbreviation for kilo-, indicating 1,000.

KB

Abbreviation for kilobyte(s), 1,024 bytes.

KB/sec

Abbreviation for kilobyte(s) per second.

Kbit(s)

Abbreviation for kilobit(s), 1,024 bits.

Kbit(s)/sec

Abbreviation for kilobit(s) per second.

key combination

A command requiring that you press multiple keys at the same time. For example, you can reboot your computer by pressing the <Ctrl><Alt><Del> key combination.

kg

Abbreviation for kilogram(s), 1,000 grams.

kHz

Abbreviation for kilohertz, 1,000 hertz.

LAN

Acronym for local area network. A LAN system is usually confined to the same building or a few nearby buildings, with all equipment linked by wiring dedicated specifically to the LAN.

lb

Abbreviation for pound(s).

LCD

Abbreviation for liquid crystal display. A low-power dis- play often used for notebook computers. An LCD consists of a liquid crystal solution between two sheets of polarizing material. An electric current causes each crystal to act like a shutter that can open to allow light past or close to block the light.

LED

Abbreviation for light-emitting diode. An electronic de- vice that lights up when a current is passed through it.

LIF

Acronym for low insertion force. Some computers use LIF sockets and connectors to allow devices such as the micro- processor chip to be installed or removed with minimal stress to the device.

LIM

Acronym for Lotus/Intel/Microsoft. LIM usually refers to version 4.0 of the EMS.
