RAID

Redundant Array of Independent Discs

RAID

A category of disk drives that employ two or more drives in combination for fault tolerance and performance.

RAID

RAM

Random Access Memory

RAM

A type of computer memory that can be accessed randomly; that is, any byte of memory can be accessed without touching the preceding bytes.

RAM

RAMBUS

trademarked term

RAMBUS

A type of memory (DRAM) developed by Rambus, Inc. The fastest current memory technologies used by PCs (SDRAM) can deliver data at a maximum speed of about 100 MHz, RDRAM transfers data at up to 800 MHz.

RAMBUS

RAS

Remote Access Service

RAS

A server that is dedicated to handling users that are not on a LAN but need remote access to it.

RAS

RF

Radio Frequency

RF

Any frequency within the electromagnetic spectrum associated with radio wave propagation.

RF

RGB

Red Green Blue

RGB

A monitor that requires separate signals for each of the three colors. This differs from color televisions, for example, which use composite video signals, in which all the colors are mixed together.

RGB

RIMM

Rambus Inline Memory Module

RIMM

The memory module used with RDRAM chips. It is similar to a DIMM package but uses different pin settings.

RIMM

RIP

Routing Information Protocol

RIP

An interior gateway protocol defined by RFC 1058 that specifies how routers exchange routing table information.

RIP

RIS

Remote Installation Service

RIS

A feature of Microsoft's Windows 2000 Server. RIS allows a network administrator to install the Windows 2000 operating system to any number of client computers simultaneously from a central location.

RIS

RISC

Reduced Instruction Set Computer

RISC

A type of microprocessor that recognizes a relatively limited number of instructions.

Recommended Standard 232

RS-232

A standard interface approved by the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) for connecting serial devices.

RS-232

RTC

Real-Time Clock

RTC

A clock that keeps track of the time even when the computer is turned off.

RTC

SAN

Storage Area Network

SAN

A high-speed sub network of shared storage devices.

SAN

SATA

Serial Advanced Technology Attachment

SATA

An evolution of the Parallel ATA physical storage interface. Serial ATA is a serial link -- a single cable with a minimum of four wires creates a point-to-point connection between devices.

SATA

SCSI

Small Computer System Interface

SCSI

A parallel interface standard used by Apple computers, PCs, and many UNIX systems for attaching peripheral devices to computers.

SCSI

SDRAM

Symmetric Dynamic Random Access Memory

SDRAM

A type of DRAM that can run at much higher clock speeds than conventional memory.

SDRAM

SGRAM

Synchronous Graphics Random Access Memory

SGRAM

A type of DRAM used increasingly on video adapters and graphics accelerators.

SGRAM

SIMM

Single Inline Memory Module

SIMM

A small circuit board that can hold a group of memory chips.

SIMM

Scalable Link Interface or

System Level Integration

or ScanLine Interleave Mode

SLI

Technology linking two graphics cards together to provide scalability and increased performance.

SLI
