Expansion Slots is a slots located inside a computer on the motherboard or raiserboard that allows additional board to be connected to it. For example if you wanted to install a new video card and install that card into the compatible expansion slots.
AGP Slots (Accelerated Graphic Port)- AGP is a advance port designed for video cards and 3D accelerators. Design by Intel and introduced in August 1997. AGP introduce point to point channel that allow the graphics controller direct access the system memory. Below is an illustration of what the AGP slot may look like on your motherboard.
AMR- AMR(Audio-Modem Raiser)is sort for Audio/Modem raiser and allows OEMs to make one card that has the funstionality of either modem or audio or both audio or modem on one card.
CNR(Communication and Network Raiser)- Short of Communication and Network Raiser is a specification that support audio modem USB and Local Area Networking Interface of core logic Chipset.
The technology and the CNR slots was first introduce by 'Intel" February 7 2002 and was mainly developed by leading Hardware and Software developers who helped released the AMR (Audio Modem Raiser). Today this slots is no longer found on motherboard.
MCA(Micro Channel Architucture)- The MCA bus was first to offer a 32 bit bus and was inended to replace the older AT-ISA 16-bit bus . Although it did improve on the 16 bit bus,MCA was made to be in compatible withISA cords, and this perhaps was one of the reasons why it never really caught on.
EISA(Extended Industry Standard Architucture)- The EISA bus was designed to compatible with the older ISA Expension cards meaning that both the origional 8 bit and 16 bit interface card worked in the EISA slots. EISA Slots were used primarily in 80386 and 80486 computer and are not seen in our modem computer.
VL BUS(Visa Local Bus)- The Visa Local Bus was used primary with the 386 and 4967 types of Computers, and it was designed for used in systems with a single processor. The VL Bus enhanced the performance of high speed devices such as video controllers. In terms of performance running at an unprecedented 33 MHz. the VL Bus represented significant improvements over the older ISA bus.
PCI(Peripheral Component Interconnect)- The PCI Bus is used in both PC and makintosh Computers and like the VL Bus provide a high-speed data path between peripheral devices and the CPU. The PCI bus supports 33bits and 64bits data path using bus mastering additional features of the PCI bus include support for plug- and-play devices and for sharing of IRQs, helping to allviate the prlblem of the limied number of IRQs available on a system.
PCIX(Peripheral Component Interconnect Extended)- The PCIx bus promises to be backward compatible with older PCI devices. Using a 64bit data path and running at a clock speed of 133 MHz, the PCIx bus increase transfer speed from 132 Mbps to rather impressive 1 gigabyte per second.
