Is there a Motherboard Definition List?

There are so many terms used for motherboards, and some of them I dont
understand. When I do learn that one, and other comes along.
For example, what is RAID, FSB, SOUTH BRIDGE, IGP, etc....
Is there an online "dictionary" for these terms?

Thanks

George

From http://www.wikipedia.org/

Requires selecting the right instance of definition from a list.

out of many drives.

FSB is "Front Side Bus"; generally relating to how fast your processor
accesses memory and such.

SOUTH BRIDGE is the chip used for access to most PC peripherals.

Google and Wikipedia are your friends in looking up computer terms.
