In addition, to load a texture, a PCI graphics card must copy it from the system's RAM into the card's framebuffer, whereas an AGP card is capable of reading textures directly from system RAM using the graphics address remapping table, which reapportions main memory as needed for texture storage, allowing the graphics card to access them directly.

* Slots into which the system's main memory is to be installed ( typically in the form of DIMM modules containing DRAM chips )

The 32X employs two PWM sound channels which are mixed through the audio lines of the main system's cartridge port.

The main campus of EMCC, including the college system's administrative headquarters, is in the Scooba Campus in Scooba.

This graphics chip usually has a small quantity of embedded memory and takes some of the system's main RAM, reducing the total RAM available.

The main campus of East Mississippi Community College, including the college system's administrative headquarters, is in Scooba.

The system's ability to be upgraded from a Videogame console to Personal computer along with its library of nearly 30 games in 1982 are some reasons that made it more versatile than its main competitors, and was listed by Jeff Rovin as one of the seven major video game suppliers.

In the second half of 2008, liquidity was the banking system's main problem and hence liquid capital became an important factor ... Inter-bank loans were funded by money that originated from the drugs trade and other illegal activities ...

* The corollary of this, and the second of the two main principles, is that optimization of each aspect alone ( socio or technical ) tends to increase not only the quantity of unpredictable, " un-designed " relationships, but those relationships that are injurious to the system's performance.

On earlier personal computers, it was actually possible to cause hardware damage through trying to write to hardware addresses outside of the system's main memory.

Status messages and short data services ( SDS ) are provided over the system's main control channel, while packet-switched data or circuit-switched data communication uses specifically assigned traffic channels.

Beforehand, the game was in development for Nintendo 64, and the main character was Flint, but the project was cancelled due to the release date being near the end of the system's life span, issues with the 3D engine and other production problems.

The main determinant of a memory system's cost is the density of the components used to make it up.

The system's name refers to its main weapons, namely the curved sword ( krabi ) and staff ( krabong ).

Ticket gates are due to be re-installed at several main stations during 2011, after an upgrade of the system's ticket machines.

The mission's main objectives would have been to map the planet's surface and examine the double system's geology and geomorphology, as well as determining the composition of Pluto's atmosphere.

The writing system's main use was to record religious poetry, described as a rich language and easy to learn.

The quality of a system's voltage regulation is described by three main parameters:

It is very common misconception that the extra video hardware and capabilities were taxing on the system's CPU, and is often cited as the main reason few games were developed for the system.

fstab is still used for basic system configuration, notably of a system's main hard drive and startup file system, but for other uses has been superseded in recent years by automatic mounting.

Moving some or all of these functions to dedicated hardware, a TCP offload engine, frees the system's main CPU for other tasks.

The system's main problem was that many of the telephone lines it needed had to be manually switched in times of pre-war tension by Post Office telephone engineers.

The Salt Lake City Public Library system's main branch building is an architecturally unique structure in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Huxley believed that the central nervous system's main function was to filter through irrelevancies and useless knowledge, by shutting out the majority of what we could actually perceive at any given point in time.

Paula can read directly from the system's RAM, using direct memory access ( DMA ), making sound playback without CPU intervention possible.

Occasionally, owners of Atari ST and Amiga computers and Sega Genesis game consoles replaced their system's 68000 CPU with a 68010 to gain a small speed boost.

ISA had limited all such processing to just the system's CPU.

Fork bombs operate both by consuming CPU time in the process of forking, and by saturating the operating system's process table.

Most modern systems use the target system's CPU directly, with special JTAG-based debug access.

For example, the instruction set specifications of a CPU might leave the behavior of some forms of an instruction undefined, but if the CPU supports memory protection then the specification will probably include a blanket rule stating that no user-accessible instruction may cause a hole in the operating system's security ; so an actual CPU would be permitted to corrupt any or all user registers in response to such an instruction but would not be allowed to, for example, switch into supervisor mode.

A compatibility layer requires the host system's CPU to be ( upwardly ) compatible to that of the foreign system.

Some lower-end cards lack an onboard processor and, like a Winmodem, rely on the system's CPU for demodulation.

#* Processing distributed computing projects places a computer under continuous full CPU load, therefore, overclockers often use the stress to test their system's stability

This board, designed to further reduce the load placed upon the system's CPU, never made it to market.

Preliminary benchmarks showed very consistent performance regardless of the system's CPU speed.

Data alignment means putting the data at a memory offset equal to some multiple of the word size, which increases the system's performance due to the way the CPU handles memory.

Sync requests are quick but the response time is the same as the coupled system's " spinning " CPU loss.

So Sync requests are relatively expensive in CPU terms-from the coupled system's perspective.

It was intended for use by devices which needed to exchange large amounts of data with the graphics card without hogging a computer system's CPU or data bus, such as TV tuner cards, video capture cards, MPEG video decoders, first generation 3D graphic accelerator cards and such.

Most of them were simply an 8, 16 or 32-bit wide internal connector, transferring data between the graphics card and another device, bypassing the system's CPU and memory completely.

Unlike analog overlay devices however, a feature connector carried mainly data and essentially allowed an expansion card to access the graphics card Video RAM directly, although directing this data stream to the system's CPU and RAM was not always possible, limiting its usefulness mainly to display purposes.

The engine control module ( ECM ) reads engine information, such as coolant temperature, via a 16-bit central processing unit ( CPU ), controlling the fuel system's dual throttle bodies.
