LIST ALL
Welcome to the interactive glossay at Inside Computers. This glossary allows members of Inside Computers to post new definitions, allowing for collective information sharing.
If there is some acronym that most people might not know, or a special computer term which others would most likely want to know, go ahead and add it.
Because this is a "real time" interaction, Inside Computers can't monitor the boards 24 hours a day, but we will do our best to keep this information both
correct and edit it for content that could be offensive to others. If you are so inclined, every member is allowed to edit every user added post, so if
you think you can improve on a definition, if you want to correct a mistake others may have made, go ahead!
| E | Electronmigration :
The effects of the heat and electric fields on the internals of a processor. These effects will cause atoms to to eventually become out of place and cause a short circuit.
Enviromental Mapping :
A rendering feature that applies a reflection of the scene onto different objects as a third texture. This has become available in newer video cards, and is starting to be widely supported because of its realistic effects. Its best use is to give water reflections.
Enviromental Audio (EAX) :
A propriety 3D sound API developed by Creative Labs that simulates 3D sound through the use of complex reverberation algorithms.
EV6 :
The interface protocol used by SlotA and SocketA chipsets. It uses a 100MHz DDR, for an effective 200MHz interface.
Executable :
Software that is interpreted by the system and run as a program.
Extended Partition :
A partition type which is needed for the creation of more than one partition on a hard drive. An extended partition holds the information for the logical partitions it contains.
