Expansion features, of course (that is why they are called expansion slots).

Boards (sometimes called daughterboards) are plugged into these slots to add the needed hardware for features not originally included in the computer. Additional driver software is usually required to support these boards (some OSs can automatically identify the new boards and load the driver software automatically, others require that the user do this manually).
