| When
referring to a computer, the bus also known as the address bus, data
bus, or local bus is a data connection connection between two or
more devices connected to the computer. For example, a bus enables a
computer processor to communicate with the memory or a video card to
communicate with the memory.
A bus is capable of being parallel
or a serial bus and today all
computers utilize two types of buses, an internal
or local bus and an external bus. An
internal bus enables a communication between internal components
such as a computer video card and
memory and an external bus is capable of communicating with external
components such as a SCSI scanner.
A computer or devices bus speed or throughput
is always measured in bits per second or megabytes
per second.
