CardBus

CardBus￿technology￿enables￿the￿computer￿to￿use￿32-bit￿PC￿Cards.￿Hardware￿in￿the￿computer￿and￿the￿Windows￿98￿operating￿system￿ provide￿support￿for￿the￿32-bit￿cards.￿The￿voltage￿of￿32-bit￿cards￿(3.3￿volts)￿is￿lower￿than￿that￿of￿16-bit￿cards￿(5￿volts).￿The￿32-bit￿cards￿can￿transmit￿more￿data￿at￿a￿time￿than￿the￿16-bit￿cards,￿thus￿increasing￿their￿speed.￿

CMOS￿memory

CMOS￿(complementary￿metal￿oxide￿semiconductor)￿memory￿is￿ powered￿by￿the￿CMOS￿battery.￿The￿System￿Setup￿settings￿and￿ other￿parameters￿are￿maintained￿in￿CMOS￿memory.￿Even￿when￿ you￿turn￿your￿computer￿off,￿the￿information￿in￿CMOS￿memory￿is￿ saved.

COM￿port

COM￿stands￿for￿communication.￿COM￿ports￿are￿the￿serial￿ports￿in￿ your￿computer.

Conventional￿memory

The￿first￿640￿KB￿of￿system￿memory.￿Operating￿systems￿and￿ application￿programs￿can￿directly￿access￿this￿memory￿without￿ using￿memory-management￿software.

CMYK

A￿a￿color￿model￿in￿which￿all￿colors￿are￿described￿as￿a￿mixture￿of￿ four￿process￿colors￿-￿Cyan,￿Magenta,￿Yellow￿and￿Black.￿CMYK￿is￿the￿standard￿color￿model￿used￿in￿offset￿printing￿for￿full-color￿documents.￿Printed￿colors￿look￿the￿same￿as￿what￿appears￿on￿the￿ screen.￿

Disc

A￿compact￿disc￿(CD).

Disk

The￿device￿used￿by￿the￿computer￿to￿store￿and￿retrieve￿information.￿ Disk￿can￿refer￿to￿a￿floppy￿disk,￿hard￿disk,￿or￿RAM￿disk.

Disk￿cache

A￿software￿device￿that￿accumulates￿copies￿of￿recently￿used￿disk￿ sectors￿in￿RAM.￿The￿application￿program￿can￿then￿read￿these￿
