Questions & Answers: The Function of Internal Buses Inside Computer Systems

The document discusses the major internal buses in computer systems: the data bus, address bus, and control bus. It explains that the data bus transfers data to RAM, the address bus locates addresses of data, and the control bus controls the function of data. It also discusses the northbridge, which is connected to the CPU, and that bus speed represents how fast data travels between the northbridge and CPU.
