Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Shared system memory is a feature in which a NIC's on-board processor selects a region of RAM on the computer and writes to it as though it were buffer space on the adapter. This frees up the adapter's onboard memory for other uses and can improve system performance. DMA involves the direct transfer of data between an adapter and memory without involving the CPU, while shared adapter memory and bus mastering are unrelated to this feature.
