What was the first bus used by PC Card slots?
PC Card slots originally used a 16-bit ISA bus
What part of a computer is a video card plugged into?
A video card is plugged into an expansion slot on the peripheral bus. The exact type of peripheral bus slot varies according to the type of motherboard used. Originally, video cards were plugged into an ISA slot. Eventually they went in PCI slots, then AGP slots, and today, PCI-Express slots. Regardless of the type of peripheral bus interface, the peripheral bus connects peripheral cards, also called expansion boards, with the system chipset.
What bus is used by PC Card slots?
PCI, and AGP
What type of system bus expansion slot connector has two separate slots?
VESA
What card is used by express card slots?
PCIe or USB 2.0 bus standards.
Are memory slots a USB port?
No, Memory slots are on the motherboard bus.
What is the expansion for the acronym PCI X?
PCI X stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect Extended. It is used for expansion of 32 bit PCI bus slots. The slots are used to enhance the capabilities of the motherboard.
What is the expansion bus crystal?
It controls the part of the external data bus connected to the expansion slots.
What is the function of the control bus?
It controls all PCI Slots..
Which memory technology that is no longer used has a 32 -bit data bus 232 pins and required a placeholder in empty slots?
RIMM
Explain the Five components of the mother board?
On a motherboard, a CPU socket is where the processors placed, while memory slots are used to insert RAM modules. Additionally, the chipset is an interface between the front side bus and main memory, the flash ROM is used for the system's BIOS, and expansion slots are used for additional cards that can be inserted into the motherboard.
What is mca bus ISA bus VESA bus PCI bus?
ISA bus was a standard used for years. It was first 8-bit, being the standard expansion slot for most 8086/8088 motherboards, but later extended to 16-bit, which was the standard for 286, 386, and 486 motherboards. Most standard PC's had ISA slots through the late 1990's. They began to be phased out in the early 2000's, and are now obsolete. VESA Local bus was an extension of the standard 16-bit ISA bus, and gave a 32-bit expansion slot. These were seen in late 486 and early Pentium motherboards, which would often have two or three VESA Local Bus slots in addition to 16-bit ISA slots. They were short lived, quickly replaced by PCI slots. PCI was introduced in the mid 1990's, and are still common today. Some late 486 motherboards had two or three PCI slots in addition to 16-bit ISA slots, and they became standard with Pentium systems (most Pentium motherboards, Pentium II motherboards, and some Pentium III motherboards still had some ISA slots in addition to the PCI slots). MCA was bus developed by IBM and used in their PS/2 systems. It is to buses what Beta is to the VCR: A good technology, but made obsolete because it's developers made it too expensive for other manufacturers to license. MCA offered a 32-bit bus before VESA Local Bus or PCI were available.
