The original IBM compatible parts used an 8-bit ISA slot. After that, they moved to a 16-bit ISA slot. There were other things like a VESA slot that didn't last for long. Then there were PCI slots (not express), and AGP was a faster video card slot standard. Then PCI-express replaced both PCI and AGP.

An x16 card is typically installed in a PCI Express (PCIe) x16 expansion slot. This type of slot provides the necessary bandwidth and connectivity for high-performance components like graphics cards. Most modern motherboards come equipped with one or more PCIe x16 slots to accommodate these devices. Always ensure compatibility with your motherboard before installation.
