7. CHIPSETS
.These are the Large Chips that integrate
many functions.
.Chipsets often broken into Two Devices
with on providing an Interface from the
CPU to the Memory & the other
providing Controllers.
12. PORTS
There are Three types of ports on the
outside of the computer:
Serial Ports
. For transmitting slow data over long
distances, 9 pins or 25 Pins connector.
. A line connected to Serial port will send bit
One at a time.
. It is usually used to connect devices that don't
require fast Transmission, e.g. Mouse,
Keyboard, Monitors & Speakers.

13. PARALLEL Ports
. Transmitting Fast data over short distances,
can Transmit Information efficiently only up to
15 feet, e.g. Printers.
. A line connected to a Parallel port allows 8
Bits ( 1 Byte ) to be Transmitted ,e.g. Cars on
an 8- lane Highway.
14. USB Ports
. For Transmitting data to up to 127 devices
in a Daisy Chain to one general purpose Port.
. Hot Pluggable, USB devices to be connected or
disconnected even while the Pc is running.
