Data Bus
The data bus is the "highway" of the computer. It is used to send and transmit data. The larger the bus width, the more data that can be transmitted. In a data bus, the amount of data that can be transmitted at one time is the bus width. For example, a 32-bit bus has 32 wires that can transmit a signal at any given time. Therefore, the more bits per chip signifies a greater amount of information that can be transferred at one time.
