There are so many terms used for motherboards, and some of them I dont
understand. When I do learn that one, and other comes along.
For example, what is RAID, FSB, SOUTH BRIDGE, IGP, etc....
Is there an online "dictionary" for these terms?
Thanks

RAID = Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks
A method of automatic backup or (in some cases) making one *huge* disk
out of many drives.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID
IGP is network related:

FSB is "Front Side Bus"; generally relating to how fast your processor
accesses memory and such.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_side_bus
SOUTH BRIDGE is the chip used for access to most PC peripherals.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southbridge_%28computing%29
Google and Wikipedia are your friends in looking up computer terms.
