The PCI Ports on a motherboard or Peripheral Component Interconnects, are used to support expansion cards added to a machine. These had been created in 1993 and became a popular alternative (and much faster) then ISA or EISA which has, up until the early nineties, been the prevailing common port for expansion.
You would use it currently for items such as modems, network interface cards, low-end graphics cards or Sound cards of an older type.
PCI Is currently being phased out for PCI Express which is much faster and has more capacity.
to provide a medium to expand the capabilities of the PC, by adding like modems cards, audio cards, ethernet cards.
