∙ 8y agoThe socket you are referring to is most likely a PCI-E slot. The standard PCI-E 16x slot on most motherboards fits that description, and is usually where a graphics card is inserted. They can be shorter or smaller however, e.g. PCI-E 1x or standard PCI, which are usually used to accommodate network cards/adapters.
