to provide a medium to expand the capabilities of the PC, by adding like modems cards, audio cards, ethernet cards.
The PCI Express Root Port functions the same way as a regular PCI Express port, with the additional function of monitoring the interconnect hierarchy of the PCI ports. This function includes tracking the interconnect bandwidth and making sure that the PCI port hierarchy is functioning properly
It controls all PCI Slots..
PCI, PCI-e, AGP
PCI, PCI-X, PCIe, and mini PCI.
PCI-X is an extension to the original PCI slot. It uses a 64-bit data bus (most but not all PCI slots are 32-bit) and runs much faster than PCI (PCI runs at 33 or 66 MHz, PCI-X ranges from 66 MHz to 533 MHz). PCI cards can be used in a PCI-X slot, and most PCI-X cards will run in a PCI slot.PCI-E (PCI Express) is a totally different architecture. The connectors are similar, but PCI-E is a serialized bus, whereas PCI and PCI-X was parallelized. In PCI-E, there are fewer data paths but the paths run much faster. Think of it as the difference between a six lane highway with a speed limit of 35 MPH vs. a two lane highway with a speed limit of 75 MPH.
No, PCI Cards will not fit on PCI-E slots
Its either shorter than pci or longer than pci and agp Its either shorter than pci or longer than pci and agp Its either shorter than pci or longer than pci and agp
No, it's not. PCI-E 1x is compatible with PCI-E x4, x8, x16. PCI-E 4x is compatible with x8, x16 and so on.
Yes, PCI and PCI-E components are incompatible.
There is no PCI RAM, but we have a PCI card to which we can connect more that one RAMs to that PCI card
The PCI slot is faster. Offer mayor speed because the PCI use more faster BUSes and new architectures. The PCI EXPRESS is the newest version of the PCI architecture.
a 'hard disk card' could refer to a PCI, PCI-E controller card for a computer, or a circuit board on the hard drive, or a solid-state drive (which is just one circuit board).
