In general, yes. USB 2.0 is about one-third the speed of the PCI slots found in most computers (32-bit, 33 MHz). USB 3.0 will be approximately 5 times faster than those same PCI slots. However, as of December 2009, no production USB 3.0 hardware is available.

Are PV ExpressCards interchangeable with PC cards?

No.No PC Express Cards are not interchangeable With PC Cards.PC express cards have new technology than PC cards.But you can easily get an adaptor or converter to allow you to use PC express card as a simple PC card.


What is the pci express expansion slot?

Its for expanding that computer's ability. You can add stuff like a tv tuners, sound cards, network card, wireless networking, more ports, video cards, more sata or IDE controllers, etc. Mind you that for video cards is suggested to use pci express x16, or AGP x8 if you have an old motherboard. There are also pci express x1, which can do that same thing as the pci slot, but has a much faster transfer rate.


Why are PCI Express ports better than PCI?

it has more bandwith in other can get more performant expansions for say raid cards or more commonly graphic cards


What are common expansion cards?

Graphics Cards and Sound Cards If you mean interfaces, Then APG, PCI and PCI-E


Which card makes use of PCI slot on the motherboard?

That depends on which PCI slot Standard PCI slots are used by sound cards, network adapters, USB expansion cards and some video cards Some sound cards, network adapters and Wi-Fi cards use PCI Express x1 PCI Express x16 is strictly for video

What is PCI-X?

PCI Express is a bus for connecting peripherals to a motherboard internally. It is designed to provide higher performance / bandwidth than either PCI or AGP. Video cards, Ethernet cards, SCSI controllers, and sound cards are all available for this bus. PCI Express slots come in several different size, each designed to provide higher bandwidth. Cards designed for the smaller slots will work in the larger ones as well. PCI express is a expansion slot on your motherboard used to accomidate expansion cards ( sound video modems and other things) it Has a fast buss speed to run newer faster video cards for gameing and advanced video editing. It is a second generation to a standard PCI developed to replace and be more versitile than the current AGP (accelerated graphics port) but many new motherboards come with both AGP and multiple combos of PCI and PCI express slots.


What buses are commonly used by graphics cards?

PCI , AGP and PCI Express


How is a pciexpress slot better than a pci slot?

A PCI-E (Pci express slot) is better in many ways; It allows for a faster more poewrful Graphics Card to be insterted this is because it has a higher bandwith and speed transfer rate. PCI Slots are common on Old Computers although they are still found on some modern computers as some Expansion Cards (ie.Sound Cards) Still use the PCI interface. PCI-E Is the standered for modern graphics cards. It is only found on fairly modern computers. PCI and PCI-E Are not compatible with eachother.


What is Accelerated Graphics Port good for?

AGP was designed to provide a faster interface than PCI for graphics cards. Graphics cards were needing to move more data than the PCI bus could handle. AGP is now obsolete, as data throughput requirements far exceed its abilities. PCI-E 16x 3.0 is the current bus used for graphics cards.
