∙ 8y agoAn expansion card is an electronic circuit board that plugs into an expansion slot in a computer. It can increase or speed up the capabilities of a computer or it can add new capabilities to a computer. An example is a network card that conforms to a newer networking standard allowing for faster speeds or longer transmission distance.
The technology in original personal computers had a main board (motherboards) limited to basic computer functions with limited memory and almost no device support. Additional peripheral devices such as disk drives, display monitors, more memory, pointing devices (mice) and networking required adding an expansion card (and supporting software).
Contemporary personal computers using modern technology allowed for device interfaces, as they became a standard, to be incorporated into the physical design of the motherboard. Expansion slots are still available to support new or improved hardware.

Why would you need to be concerned with your power supply having the capability of providing power directly to the PCIe cards?
The expansion cards will not function properly without the right amount of power and the motherboard can only give so much power though the PCIe slots. Some expansion cards such as graphics cards require a lot of power so it is easier to get that power directly from the PSU.
What are desktop expansion slots?
An expansion slot on the computer is basically add other hardware or peripherals, such as graphics cards, sound cards, and network cards. The expansion slots consist of usually 2 things. The first is the PCI or AGP slot that is on the motherboard itself. The second part is built onto the case. It is pretty much a docking station where you screw the card to the case.

How many Pokemon cards are in a expansion pack?
That might depend on the type, but for instance an XY Flashfire pack has 10 cards per pack, 36 packs in a box. If you mean how many cards do they print for the whole expansion, there are a total of 109 cards in the Flashfire expansion (English edition). That varies by which expansion you are talking about too though.
