 Data bus - Computing Reference - eLook.org
The bus (connections between and within the CPU, memory, and peripherals) used to carry data.
The width and clock rate of the data bus determine its data rate (the number of bytes per second it can carry), which is one of the main factors determining the processing power of a computer.
Some processors have an internal data bus which is wider than their external bus in order to make external connections cheaper while retaining some of the benefits in processing power of a wider bus.

 Encyclopedia: Data bus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Buses can be parallel buses, which carry data words striped across multiple wires, or serial buses, which carry data in bit-serial form.
As data rates increase, the problems of timing skew and crosstalk across parallel buses become more and more difficult to circumvent.
Often, a serial bus can actually be operated at higher overall data rates than a parallel bus, despite having fewer electrical connections, because a serial bus inherently has no timing skew or crosstalk.

 Front side bus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Front Side Bus (FSB) is the term used to describe the CPU data bus.
This bus and the cache memory connected to it is faster than accessing the system RAM via the front side bus.
With bus speeds increasing rapidly, it is sometimes necessary to run the RAM at a lower frequency than the system bus in order to stay within the limitations of the DRAM modules on the memory stick.

 TechFest - PCI Local Bus Technical Summary
In PCI terminology, data is transferred between an initiator which is the bus master, and a target which is the bus slave.
The current initiator's bus transfers are overlapped with the arbitration process that determines the next owner of the bus.
Unlike the 64-bit data bus option which requires a longer connector with an additional 32-bits of data signals, 64-bit addressing can be supported through the base 32-bit connector.

 Fast Accurate Memory Test Suite - RAM, SRAM, DRAM, address bus, data bus
That's because the address bus test assumes a working data bus, and the device test results are meaningless unless both the address and data buses are known to be good.
By looking at the data value or address at which the test failed, he or she should be able to quickly isolate the problem on the circuit board.
The number of data values to test is the same as the width of the data bus.

 Data Bus
The bus is the pathway -- on the motherboard and beyond -- that allows data to flow from one part of your computer system to another.
The data bus is important because it's one of the three components that most affect the overall performance of any system (the others being the CPU and the amount of RAM).
Transmission speed is measured in megabits per second (or Mbps), which refers to the amount of data that can be moved in a second.

 Matching Data Bus Throughput To Data Acquisition Needs
For data transfer, the PC had a 16-bit internal data bus; but for cost and compatibility reasons, the external data bus was only 8 bits wide.
Bus mastering allows an adapter to hijack the data bus temporarily by bidding for and gaining control of the bus to perform a specific task.
Yet in high-speed data acquisition applications, the method of data transfer between the data acquisition board and computer memory or the monitor is just as important as the speed of the ADC or DAC.

 The Data Bus/Address Bus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
In the same way as an urban bus stops at various locations to pick up or drop off passengers, the computer's buses also have certain "bus stops" at which they call, and where addresses or data can hop on or be deposited.
The data bus is also a collection of wires but this carries instructions and data, not memory addresses.
The data and instructions are transported over the data bus to or from that specified location.

 Information about the computer BUS
A computer bus is a method of transmitting data from one part of the computer to another part of the computer.
When this bus was originally released it was a proprietary bus, which allowed only IBM to create peripherals and the actual interface.
VLB 2.0 was later released in 1994 and had a 64-bit bus and a bus speed of 50 MHz.

 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The data bus is a bi-directional path for data and instructions.
By increasing the width of the data bus more data can be carried at the same time, reducing the nuber of fetches required and hence increasing the speed.
If the width of the data bus is the same as the word size then a word of data can be transferred in one go.

 bus from FOLDOC   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The data bus, address bus and control signals, despite their names, really constitute a single bus since each is useless without the others.
Some processors have internal busses which are wider than their external busses (usually twice the width) since the width of the internal bus affects the speed of all operations and has less effect on the overall system cost than the width of the external bus.
This was once written "'bus bar" as it was a contraction of "omnibus bar" - a connection bar "for all", by analogy with the passenger omnibus - a conveyance "for all".
