Dual-In-line Package This is the name for those little tiny plastic switchs that you need to change some times. Basically if you are being confronted with dealing on the DIP switch level you are probably in over your head. This is the time to have the technician on the phone talking you threw each and every step of the process. If you are capible of doing DIP switches by yourself then you don't need these definitions. If you had to lookup the name you need help before you start switching them.DIP|&|Dialup Internet Protocol

Dynamic Link Library
Dynamic Loaded Libraries This is a part of the program. Stuff on your computer is divided into stuff that is basically, programs, drivers, and data. The programs are things like PhotoShop, Netscape, & Quake. The drivers are those things you get from the manufactor for your soundcard, videocard, harddrive and other such stuff. Basically drivers are the translators your hardware manufactor creates to communicate with Windows. When these are messed-up your computer-life is messedDLP|&|Digital Light Processing
