"For Device Manager, any of four system components that control how the devices on a computer work. These four system resources are interrupt request (IRQ) lines, direct memory access (DMA) channels, input/output (I/O) ports, and memory addresses." -
22 Data Execution Prevention
"A security feature that monitors programs on a computer to determine if they use system memory safely. To do this, DEP software works alone or with compatible microprocessors to mark some memory locations as ""non-executable."" If a program tries to run code that is malicious or is not from a protected location, DEP closes the program and notifies you." -
23 DEP
"A security feature that monitors programs on a computer to determine if they use system memory safely. To do this, DEP software works alone or with compatible microprocessors to mark some memory locations as ""non-executable."" If a program tries to run code that is malicious or is not from a protected location, DEP closes the program and notifies you." -
24 named pipe
"A portion of memory that can be used by one process to pass information to another process, so that the output of one is the input of the other. The second process can be local (on the same computer as the first) or remote (on a networked computer)." -
25 sleep
A power-saving state that allows the computer to quickly resume full-power operation (typically within several seconds) when you want to start working again. All open documents and programs are saved to memory before the computer enters the low-power state. -
26 bootstrap loader
"A program that is run automatically when a computer is turned on or booted. After first performing a few basic hardware tests, the bootstrap loader loads and passes control to a larger loader program, which typically then loads the operating system. The bootstrap loader typically resides in the computer's read-only memory (ROM)." -
27 RDMA
A networking feature that lets one computer directly place information into the memory of another computer. -
28 AGP
"A technology that provides a dedicated, high-speed port through which large blocks of 3-D texture data can be moved between the computer's graphics controller and system memory." -
29 accelerated graphics port
"A technology that provides a dedicated, high-speed port through which large blocks of 3-D texture data can be moved between the computer's graphics controller and system memory."منفذ رسومات مسرّع -
30 cold boot
"A startup process that begins with turning on the computer's power. Typically, a cold boot involves some basic hardware checking by the system, after which the operating system is loaded from disk into memory." -
31 resource
"Generally, any part of a computer system or network, such as a disk drive, printer, or memory, that can be allotted to a running program or a process." -
32 storage device
A device that you can connect to a computer to copy and store files. Common storage devices include external hard disk drives and flash memory cards. -
33 video digitizer
"A device used in computer graphics that uses a video camera, rather than a scan head, to capture a video image and then stores it in memory with the aid of a special-purpose circuit board." -
34 express message
"For Message Queuing, a message that uses fewer resources and is faster than a recoverable message. However, because express messages are mapped to memory, they are lost if the computer storing them fails." -
35 hardware branch
"The hardware archive root key in the registry that is a superset of the memory-resident hardware tree. Although the hardware tree contains information only about those devices currently detected and running in the system, the registry contains a complete list of all hardware ever installed on the particular computer. The hardware root key is \\HKEY-LOCAL-MACHINE\Hardware." -
36 removable media
"Anything used for information storage that is designed to be easily inserted into and removed from a computer or portable device. Common removable media include CD and DVD discs, as well as removable memory cards." -
37 text-mode Setup
"The second of the three stages of Setup, where the basic hardware of the computer (CPU, motherboard, hard disk controllers, file systems, and memory) is determined, the base operating system necessary to continue is installed, and specified folders are created." -
38 bit specification
"The number of colors or levels of gray that can be displayed at one time. The amount or memory in the computer's graphics controller card controls the display. An 8-bit controller can display 256 colors or levels of gray; a 16-bit controller, 64,000 colors; and a 24-bit controller, 16.8 million colors." -
39 hybrid sleep
"A power-saving sleep state in which any open documents and programs are saved to your hard disk, in addition to being saved to memory, before the computer enters the low-power state." -
40 file control block
"A small block of memory temporarily assigned by a computer's operating system to hold information about an opened file. A file control block typically contains such information as the file's identification, its location on a disk, and a pointer that marks the user?s current (or last) position in the file."
