short for microchip. This term is commonly used to describe the CPU. More specifically, it refers to the part of the CPU that actually does the work, since many CPUs now contain L1 and L2 caches on-chip.

Chip - doug wrote in messagenews:telecom22.592.2@telecom-digest.org... I recently moved to a rural area and have a loud hum on my line. I have an old voltmeter and decided to test the voltage in the lines. The DC seems to be right with all I have read onine. Then i tested AC and found the following: I had the Bell South guy over here and he agrees that the problem is coming from out of the house. The 120 Volts didn't seem to phase him much. I showed him how it was the exact same if I stuck the voltmeter into an electrical outlet. Does all this mean anything or do I need different equipment to find the problem? What can I do about this? Bellsouth says there will always be a hum. And I don't think they are going to do anything. I spend alot of time saying "what?" back and forth on the phone and my tivo modem has blown. I wonder if I can light a 120V light bulb with my phone line? Hmmm..Doug,First, the usual caveats: do not attempt to work on electricalcircuits unless you are properly trained, equipped, and wearingprotective clothing and safety glasses. I'm not an electrician:anything you do because of what I write here is at your own risk.1. Check to see if you CAN light a light bulb, preferably a 12 or 5watt bulb from a Christmas tree. If you do, call the local paper andask them to take a picture.2. If the light bulb doesn't light, put a phone in the line at thesame points where your measured the 120V, i.e., green to ground. If itrings continuously, tell that to the phone company.3. Keep calling in trouble reports and making a pest of yourself.Demand to speak to the Manager, and ALWAYS get a name. Everytime you call, demand to be connected one level higher.4. Always call from the line that's in trouble. Even if it very hardto talk, the clerks will know you're for real.5. Don't give up. You're paying for a noise-free line, and you're beingshortchanged.HTH.William(Remove ".nouce" for direct email.)
