PCI slots



Most ATX motherboards provide at least four PCI slots for expansion. Although these standard PCI slots for expansion cards usually available, such as sound cards and Ethernet cards are faster PCI Express (PCIe) also appear on most boards public. PCIe distinguish between them, but the number of links or channels, they claim. For example, one PCIe x16 offers greater bandwidth of a PCIe x1 slot. (can only transmit one channel 2.5 Gbit / s in each direction.) Therefore, PCIe x16 graphics cards use as an Ethernet card can use x1. All expansion cards that you use, you must, be compatible with the specific slot types, of course.
