Computer Hardware Terms, Glossary and Dictionary

The memory bus is the set of wires that is used to carry memory addresses and data to and from the system RAM. The memory bus in most PCs is also shared with the processor bus (or system bus or internal bus), connecting the system memory to the processor and the system chipset. The memory bus is part of the PC's hierarchy of buses, which are high-speed communications channels used within the computer to transfer information between its components.
