If you have 3 PCI expansion slots do you need 3 PCI buses on the motherboard?
Not sayin :P haha
How are local buses different from expansion buses?
A local bus is one which is integrated into the computer. Typically, this includes the Frontside Bus (or Hypertransport in AMD), the Memory Bus, the PCI bus, the PCI Express Bus (if present), the AGP Bus (if present), and onboard peripheral busses such as IDE, SATA, USB, IR, Firewire, and many others. Expansion buses are those which are not built in. For example, if you do not utilize onboard video, you would use a PCI, AGP, or PCI-E expansion bus to add video capabilities.
What is the function of expansion bus?
Expansion buses basically enable you to install additional hardware in your system unit and PC. The most common type of expansion buses today is PCI and PCIe, and AGP. You can use PCI, commonly white on your motherboard,to install network interface cards, sound cards, etc.. And you can use AGP to install high end video graphics cards, and they are commonly brown on your motherboard. PCIe is another version of PCI, but allows for faster data transfers. ISA was the first type of expansion buses, and it was developed by IBM for use in their early PC. Computerguy1984

What is Computer Bus Also explain that how many types of Buses used in Computer with their functions.?
Buses are the set of wires that carry special information to or from the CPU. There are three types of buses they are: 1. Address buses: these buses carry address given by the CPU from one unit to another in the computer. 2. Data buses: These buses carry data from one unit to other, it is a bi-directional bus i.e the data can be carried in both directions. 3. Control signal: These buses carry control signal from ALU to memory and from memory to alu and then to the output unit.
What is an adjective of buses?
