Sometimes PCI, PCI-E, AGP and other slots on motherboards are color coded... but often they are not. If they are different colors, it is usually just that different slots are different colors on the mother board in question. But there is no color coding standard among mother board makers in general.

What are 3 main types of expansion slots?

The three main types of expansion slots are PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect), PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express), and AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port). PCI slots are older and used for various expansion cards, while PCIe, which has largely replaced PCI, offers higher bandwidth and supports multiple lanes for faster data transfer. AGP was specifically designed for graphics cards but has become obsolete with the advent of PCIe. Each slot type varies in speed, compatibility, and intended use.

What are AGP slots used for?

AGP slots were used as a faster interface for a graphics card prior to the creation of PCI-E.


Can geforce 6800 support AGP 4X?

Geforce 6800 supports AGP 8x and PCIe 1.0. It will not support 4x.


Which expansion bus architecture is used exclusively for display support?

This is a kind of trick question because there are actually two graphics-only technologies. One could argue the second is only a version of a larger architecture. But, it is "A separate connector used exclusively for graphics", so I leave the semantics up to you. The short answer(s): AGP (for the purists) AGP and PCIe 16x (for the practical) The long answer: The original graphics-only architecture is Accelerated Graphics Port or AGP. AGP was created to enable video data transfer rates higher than PCI video cards. AGP technology advanced over time, resulting in four different modes: AGP 1x was the 1st, transferring data at 266MBs per second. AGP 2x transfers data at 533MBs per second. AGP 4x transfers data at 1.07GBs per second. AGP 8x, the final AGP, transferred data at a whopping 2.14GBs per second. Quite an improvement over PCI. The other graphics-only port is now in the process of replacing AGP. AND it's "back to PCI" (sort of). PCI Express x16 transfers data at 4GBs per second, effectively doubling AGP 8x. The possible controversy: PCI Express slots come in PCIe x1, x2, x4, x8, x16. All except PCIe x16 slots are used for many things. PCIe x16 is used exclusively for video cards and has its own connector.
