What are the issues involved with using the same bus for main memory, CD-ROM and disk? http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif

Welcome, Lover_or(of?)_computers! http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/biggrin.gif In general, this board is best used to ask questions of a narrower focus, not broad wide-ranging questions about theory and/or homework assignments requiring in-depth answers. There is, however, lots of reference material about these topics here (http://www.pcguide.com/ref/ram/index.htm) and here (http://www.pcguide.com/ref/mbsys/buses/func_Mastering.htm) in The PC Guide. Good Luck! http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/smile.gif
