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 the expansion bus crystal?
It controls the part of the external data bus connected to the expansion slots.
Which bus does not work in sync with CPU and the system clock?
An expansion bus will not work in sync with the CPU. In addition, it will not work with the system clock.
A bus that does not run in sync with the system clock is called a?
expansion bus
A bus that works asynchronously with the CPU at a slower rate is called?
A bus that works asynchronously with the CPU is -the expansion bus
An expansion bus always connects to the faster end of the chipset the North Bridge?
No. An expansion bus always connects to South Bridge. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-southbridge.htm
What is the purpose of a bus shelter?
function of a bus shelter
What is the function of bus coupler?
The function of a bus coupler is to couple one bus to and bus. This is done so that there is no interruption between the power supply and no hazardous arc is created.
What properties of a function can be discovered from its Maclaurin series?
Yes. If the Maclaurin expansion of a function locally converges to the function, then you know the function is smooth. In addition, if the residual of the Maclaurin expansion converges to 0, the function is analytic.
The size and shape of an expansion slot depends on the kind of?
bus
Which expansion bus uses lanes to transfer data?
display
What is the function of expansion valve?
The function of an expansion valve is to regulate the flow of a substance. One example is a thermal expansion valve which regulates the flow of cooling substances within a device.
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.
