1. EXPANSION CARD AND EXPANSION SLOT

2. WHAT IS EXPANSION CARD? An expansion card is a PCB (printed circuit board) that pugs into an expantion slot on a computer motherboard. An expansion card, is used to provide additional functionality to the system or to upgrade an exisiting function, such as sound or video.

3. WHAT IS EXPANSION SLOT? An expansion slot refers to any of the slots on a motherboard that can hold an expansion card to expand the computer’s functionally, like a video card, network card, or sound card .

4. Different Kinds of Expansion Slots PCI, AGP, AMR, CNR, ISA, EISA, and VESA.

5. What is the PCI slot? Developed by Intel Corporation, the (Peripheral Component Interconnect standard) (PCI) is an industry-standard, high-speed bus found in nearly all desktop computers. PCI slots allow you to install a wide variety of expansion cards including: Graphics or Video cards. Sound cards. Network cards.

7. What is the AGP slot? An (Accelerated Graphics Port) (AGP) is a point to point channel that is used for high-speed video output. This port is used to connect graphic cards to a computer's motherboard. It increases the speed at which machines can render graphics while using the system's resources more efficiently.

9. What is an AMR slot? An (audio/modem riser) (AMR) is a riser expansion slot found on the motherboards of some Pentium III, Pentium 4, Duron, and Athlon personal computers. It was designed by Intel to interface with chipsets and provide analog functionality, such as sound cards and modems, on an expansion card.

11. What is the expansion of CNR? CNR, short for (Communications and Networking Riser), is a technology that was developed by Intel in the late 1990s as an expansion slot specifically designed for modems, network interface cards (NICs), and audio devices in personal computers.

13. What is ISA expansion slot? (Industry Standard Architecture) ISA accepted cards for sound, display, hard drives and other devices. Originally called the "AT bus" and introduced with the IBM PC AT in 1984, the AT/ISA bus extended the PC bus from 8 to 16 bits. For several years, motherboards provided a mix of both 8-bit and 16-bit ISA slots.

15. What is EISA expansion slot? (Extended Industry Standard Architecture) (EISA) is a bus architecture that extends the Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) from 16 bits to 32 bits. EISA was introduced in 1988 by the Gang of Nine – a group of PC manufacturers.

17. What is VESA slot? VESA is an acronym that stands for the (Video Electronics Standards Association). The VLB is an older local bus architecture popular on 486 computer systems in 1993 and 1994. PCI and AGP bus architectures have completely replaced the VLB.

20. Sound cards Sound cards expand the sound capabilities of a PC. They are popular with gamers and those who watch videos, and/or television, on their PCs. With a sound card, a system can go from mono sound, to stereo sound, to surround sound.

21. Video cards Video cards can increase the overall performance of a system, depending upon the card that is installed. They can also allow the addition of multiple monitors. One of the ways that they increase performance is by taking the workload off of the CPU and transferring it to the video card. A good video card is a wise investment.

22. Network cards Most motherboards have built in network cards; however, they can fail or they might not connect to the right type of network in your situation. Additionally, you might need to connect with another or different type of network or make multiple network connections. Those are a few examples of situations where a network expansion card could prove useful.

23. Serial and parallel cards. Another reason to add expansion cards would be the need to expand the life of legacy applications. Most systems nowadays do not come with a serial or parallel port; however, some applications and situations still call for those types of connections. You can add an expansion card that has a serial and/or parallel port in your system.

24. USB cards. An expansion card will allow you to add more USB ports to a system. You can also add newer versions of USB by using an expansion card.

25. FireWire cards. You can also add more FireWire ports to your system. If you don’t have FireWire, you can use an expansion card to add it, and, by installing an expansion card, you can update your system.

26. Storage cards. A variety of storage solutions are available through the use of expansion cards. If you need to add a SCSI tape array, you can add an expansion card that allows you to connect to SCSI devices. There are also expansion cards that are solid-state drives in their own right. They are an extremely unique solution for storage and they are very fast; however, they tend to be fairly expensive.

27. Modem cards. Most systems no longer come with built-in modems. However, some virtual private networks require the client to dial-in in order to connect and a modem is needed to do so. An expansion card that has a modem built into it will resolve this problem.

28. TV tuner cards. A TV tuner card allows a PC to make a cable television connection. This is a popular option for a home theater PC. Cable television can be routed through, or watched, on the PC.
