Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The video subsystem in a modern computer is isolated from the rest of the system. It has direct access to the CPU through an older video expansion slot technology known as ____ .However, advances in processor and motherboard technology has made it possible for the CPU to have direct full-duplex connection to all devices in the computer, rather than having to go through a chipset bridge architecture. With this advancement, a new expansion slot type has replaced two other expansion slot types, one of which was the above-mentioned video subsystem slot.Identify the older video subsystem slot discussed here, the newer expansion slot type, and the remaining type of expansion slot replaced by this newer slot.(Select All That Apply)
A
ISA
B
AGP (Accelerated Graphics Processing)
C
PCI
D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Buses. A bus is a subsystem that transfers data between computer components inside a computer or between computers. Unlike a point-to-point connection, a bus can logically connect several peripherals over the same set of wires.

Detailed explanation-2: -The read-only memory (ROM) is a permanent data storage that holds information the computer needs that doesn’t change. For example, a type of ROM memory is your computer’s BIOS-basic input/output system.

Detailed explanation-3: -video card, also called graphics card, integrated circuit that generates the video signal sent to a computer display. The card is usually located on the computer motherboard or is a separate circuit board but is sometimes built into the computer display unit.

Detailed explanation-4: -Central Processing Unit (CPU) The CPU is the brain of a computer, containing all the circuitry needed to process input, store data, and output results. The CPU is constantly following instructions of computer programs that tell it which data to process and how to process it.
