What is a video capture card?
Non-volatile memory that can be erased by exposing it to strong ultraviolet light.
What is EPROM?
The reaction that can occur when there is a buildup of an electric charge that exists on a surface which comes into contact with another, differently charged surface.
What is ESD?
The part of the chipset that controls access to the RAM and video card.
