DSP

D igital S ignal P rocessing chips that are common in cards (boards) added to expansion slots in computers, especially for adding multimedia to computers. In the future, DSPs and video hardware will probably be more common on motherboards instead of add-on boards. All major sound systems for PCs in the future will probably be upgraded to DSP-based audio chips, many of them right on the motherboard. (See also Sound board and Multimedia Video Processor )
