IRQ lines allow devices to send interrupt signals to the CPU. IRQ conflicts used to be common when adding devices but plug-and-play specifications have reduced manual configuration. DMA allows hardware subsystems to access memory independently of the CPU to transfer data faster. Modern computers use DMA for devices like hard drives, graphics cards, and sound cards. Firewalls provide security for private networks connected to the internet by allowing only authorized data to pass through based on administrator rules.
