These can be called several things such as peripheral cards, expansion cards, and occasionally daughterboards.
IRQ or interupt request : An IRQ allows a device to request certain system resources on priority. Normally, the system allowcates the different non-competing IRQ numbers to different devices. The system allocated IRQs may some times be manually changed. However, it may lead to serious IRQ conflicts resulting in a hung operating system.
That is difficult to say without knowing the cards intended use. Some cards plug into expansion slots on motherboards. Some plug into risers. Some expansion cards are actually daughter cards that plug into another card.
On board video uses system memory while add in cards carry their own memory. An add in card frees up system resources.
Yes, NICs can be a form of expansion card (as long as the NIC is not built into the motherboard).
Type your answer here... expansion card advantages
That might depend on the type, but for instance an XY Flashfire pack has 10 cards per pack, 36 packs in a box. If you mean how many cards do they print for the whole expansion, there are a total of 109 cards in the Flashfire expansion (English edition). That varies by which expansion you are talking about too though.
the Ram, and the expansion slots for adding hardware (cards)
Expansion card types * Graphics cards * Sound cards * Network cards * TV tuner cards * Video processing expansion cards * Modems * Host adapters such as SCSI and RAID controllers. * POST cards * BIOS Expansion ROM cards * Compatibility card (legacy) * Physics cards, only recently became commercially available. * Disk controller cards (for fixed- or removable-media drives) * Interface adapter cards, including parallel port cards, serial port cards, multi-I/O cards, USB port cards, and proprietary interface cards. * RAM disks, e.g. i-RAM * Memory expansion cards (legacy) * Hard disk cards (legacy) * Clock/calendar cards (legacy) * Security device cards * Radio tuner cards Expansion card types * Graphics cards * Sound cards * Network cards * TV tuner cards * Video processing expansion cards * Modems * Host adapters such as SCSI and RAID controllers. * POST cards * BIOS Expansion ROM cards * Compatibility card (legacy) * Physics cards, only recently became commercially available. * Disk controller cards (for fixed- or removable-media drives) * Interface adapter cards, including parallel port cards, serial port cards, multi-I/O cards, USB port cards, and proprietary interface cards. * RAM disks, e.g. i-RAM * Memory expansion cards (legacy) * Hard disk cards (legacy) * Clock/calendar cards (legacy) * Security device cards * Radio tuner cards
Energy cards are not in all expansion so or you are "unlucky" or you can get them or buying deck or buying expansion with energies
True
yes, its what enables the video card to be attached to the motherboard if I understand your question right
