PCI / Peripheral Component Interconnect for Not Yet Techies

"Computer Careers: Using This High Speed 32-Bit Bus Connection"

by Richard Stooker, President Info Ring Press and author of Secrets of Changing to a Computer Career

PCI / Peripheral Component Interconnect is a 32-bit bus offering higher performance and faster data transmission than older 16-bit ISA / Industry Standard Architecture bus. It is an interconnection system between a computer and peripheral devices in which the expansion slots are spaced close together, enhancing a high speed operation. The PCI / Peripheral Component Interconnect was originally designed by Intel.

It was originally similar to the VESA Local Bus

However, it is now designed to be independent of the design of the processor, except it is synchronized with the clock speed of the CPU.

Now installed on most computers, PCI / Peripheral Component Interconnect has a 124-pin connection. With the PCI-X / Extended implementation, it transmits 64 bits with a 188-pin connection.

These are the PCI / Peripheral Component Interconnect basics.
