Expansion Bus Types

To add features to your computer, you can typically add a peripheral card to an existing __________________.

PCI

PCIe

AGP

AMR

CNR

This bus is processor independent

PCI is ______________________, meaning that newly installed devices can be detected and configured automatically.

These buses are most commonly used for devices such as sound cards, modems, network cards, and storage device controllers.

These bus slots are typically white.

Small form factor computers, such as laptops or micro-ATX systems, might include a _________________ slot.

______________ devices are small cards with either 100- or 124-pins.

A typical use for a ______________ slot is to add internal cards (such as wireless cards) to laptops.

Rather than a shared bus, each ______________ links to a switch which prioritizes and routes data through a point-to-point dedicated connection and provides a serial full-duplex method of transmission.

Basic ____________ provides one lane for transmission (x1), at a transfer rate of 2.5 Gbps.
