AGU - Address Generation Unit. This unit is just as important as the 'ALU', because it is responsible for the data from or to the correct address to either be loaded or stored. Absolute addressing in programs is only used in rare exceptions. As soon as you've got arrays of data the program code is using indirect addressing, keeping the 'AGUs' busy.

CISC - Complex Instruction Set Computing - High number instruction (simple and complex function) slower speed calculation - less function than RISC, it is possible pursue by the help of complex function - some few tact processor - series processor 80x86 from firm Intel

Enhanced floating point/multimedia - It is lifelike video and 3D graphics for better gaming and multimedia experiences.

RDRAM - "Rambus dynamic random access memory is a radical departure from the previous DRAM architecture. Designed by Rambus, RDRAM uses a Rambus in-line memory module (RIMM), which is similar in size and pin configuration to a standard DIMM. What makes RDRAM so different is its use of a special high-speed data bus called the Rambus channel. RDRAM memory chips work in parallel to achieve a data rate of 800 MHz". (Tyson, 1998)

RISC - Reduced Instruction Set Computing - Small number simple instruction in processor - high speed calculation , during of one or a few tact processor - for calculation is requirement much more instruction than RISC - more exacting on computer architecture - Power PC, SGI, Alpha, SUN SPARC and new processor Intel

SDRAM - "Synchronous dynamic random access memory takes advantage of the burst mode concept to greatly improve performance. It does this by staying on the row containing the requested bit and moving rapidly through the columns, reading each bit as it goes. The idea is that most of the time the data needed by the CPU will be in sequence. SDRAM is about five percent faster than EDO RAM and is the most common form in desktops today. Maximum transfer rate to L2 cache is approximately 528 megabytes per second." (Tyson, 1998)

SSE2 - It is a new class of applications with more than 144 second-generation Streaming SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) instructions with a 128-bit SIMD integer arithmetic and 128-bit SIMD double precision floating point instructions.

SYSMark 2001 - SYSmark 2001 is a suite of application software and associated benchmark workloads developed by the Business Applications Performance Corporation (BAPCO), a non-profit consortium of leading computer industry publications, independent testing labs, PC hardware manufacturers, semiconductor manufacturers, and software publishers. SYSmark 2001 is a tool that measures system performance on popular business-oriented applications in the Microsoft* Windows operating environment.
