An extension of the common electrical bus which accepts the expansion boards that control the video display, disks, and other peripherals. (See also bus.)
An extension of the main computer bus that includes expansion slots for use by compatible adapters, such as including memory boards, video adapters, hard disk controllers, and SCSI interface cards.
An I/O bus that provides the ability to add peripherals to a PC. ISA and PCI are examples of an expansion bus.
An input/output bus typically comprised of a series of slots on the motherboard. Expansion boards are plugged into the bus. ISA, EISA, PCI and VL-Bus are examples of expansion buses used in a PC.
a socket or series of sockets on the main computer circuit board (the mother board) where other circuit boards (daughter boards) can be added to expand the computers capabilities
Your system contains an expansion bus that allows the processor to communicate with controllers for peripherals, such as NICs.
A collection of wires and software protocols that allow for the insertion of printed circuit boards (expansion boards/cards) in a computer. Traditionally, PCs utilized an ISA expansion bus. In recent years, however, the ISA bus has been replaced in nearly all new PCs with a PCI bus for performance reasons.
A bus that connects the CPU to peripheral devices.
A collection of electrical slots holding printed circuit boards. (See cards.)
A group of control lines that provide a buffered interface to devices located either on the system board or on cards that are plugged into expansion connectors. Common expansion buses included on the system board are USB, PC Card, and PCI.
Your computer contains an expansion bus that allows the microprocessor to communicate with controllers for devices such as a network card or an internal modem.
The part of the computer's bus that enables you to plug in expansion boards to give your computer more features. Nearly every computer sold these days has an expansion bus.
The pathway by which a CPU and other components of the system board communicate with cards in the computer's expansion slots. Also called the bus and the system bus.
Is the capacity of the microprocessor to communicate with controllers for peripheral devices. These devices include hard drives and keyboards.
Bus that does not run in sync with the system clock.
The main "data pathway" inside a computer, usually fitted with slots which will accept circuit boards (cards) to expand and enhance the capabilities of the computer.
An expansion bus is made up of electronic pathways which move information from your CPU and RAM to all of your other peripheral devices such as a microphone, monitor, telephone line, and printer, which all connect to ports on the back of your computer.
