Buses Review Exercises

  • Which of the bollowing is a 32-bit bus, capable of interfacing to a system bus with a 33MHz speed?

    1. No, the ISA bus was a 8 or 16 bit bus, and had a 8.33 Mb/s speed.
    2. No - yes, the EISA bus is a 32-bit bus, and we have 486DX 33MHz machines with EISA buses - but I want answer C.

    3. Correct!! The VESA Local Bus was 32-bit, and could handle the higher speed interfaces to the system, to RAM, ISA buses, and compatible video systems.

    4. No. Actually, the EISA and VESA Local bus satisfies the question.
