PCI - Peripheral Component Interconnect Also newer PCI express x16 These are the expansion slots on newer motherboards introduced after AGP was phased out. Commonly used to support the computers GPU (Graphical processing unit) or the Video Card
PCI, AGP, and ISA are types of expansion bus slots. These slots allow you to attach internal peripherals such as video cards, hard drive controllers, modems, tuner cards, and other things.
