"A physical slot found on some handheld PCs or available via an accessory that can accept certain types of media such as CompactFlash, MultiMedia Card, Sony's Memory Stick, and Handspring's Springboard modules. Depending on the manufacturer, these cards may be be used for add-ons, including MP3 players, modems, pagers, games, digital cameras, removable storage, and global positioning systems." --About.com
A slot on the motherboard to which certain hardware devices, such as sound cards and video cards, can be attached. Expansion slots currently come with AGP, PCI, or ISA interface.
Any type of slot in a computer into which you can plug an expansion card. Examples include ISA, EISA, PCI, and PCMCIA, but there are other types and there...
A connector (usually ISA, EISA, or PCI) on the motherboard where expansion cards such as display adaptors and SCSI controllers plug in.
A socket on the main board of a computer where expansion cards are inserted.
Compartments in a PC into which you can plug expansion card s such as a video or sound card & connect them to the system bus. Most PC's have from 3 to 8 expansion slots.
Slot on some handheld computers that accommodates the addition of memory and peripherals.
(computer) a socket in a microcomputer that will accept a plug-in circuit board; "the PC had three slots for additional memory"
an opening on the motherboard into which a board or card can be inserted, expanding the capability of the computer
an opening, or socket, where you can insert a circuit board into the motherboard
a socket designed to hold the circuit board for a device, such as a tape drive, a scanner, a sound card, video capture boards, tdi
a socket inside your computer that provides a connection between your machine and the interface board
A connector on the computer's system board where you insert an expansion card, connecting it to the system bus.
A slot on the motherboard that physically and electrically connects an expansion card to the motherboard and the system busses.
Open sockets in a computer's CPU for adding additional cards to the computer.
A location on the motherboard into which expansion cards are inserted.
Many Rio players come with an expansion slot that fits SD(tm) or MMC(tm) cards. The memory card works together with the internal memory already on the player. So, for example, a 128MB player with a 256MB card inserted will have a total memory of 384MB. That's almost 61/2 hours of music
Location for a peripheral device, such as a modem or camera, to plug into a handheld device.
The opening found on many Palm(tm) devices where you insert expansion cards, thereby enabling you to add applications, memory and even peripherals to the device. more info
Area in a computer that accepts additional input/output boards to increase the capability of the computer.
The slots located in the system motherboard acting as a medium between the CPU and the expansion cards. They include ISA, EISA, MCA, AGP,VESA, and PCI.
The physical opening in a computer's expansion bus that the expansion cards plug into.
A physical slot on a motherboard into which an expansion card can be installed.
A socket on a PC motherboard into which you can insert expansion cards to increase the PC's capabilities. Most PCs have several PCI slots, plus an AGP slot for a graphics card.
On the main circuit board or motherboard of a computer, there are expansion slots or receptacles into which other printed circuit boards can be plugged. Since they are connected to the computer= s bus, the number and types of expansion slots determine how a system can be enhanced with additional peripheral devices or memory boards. There are basically three different types of expansion slots. 8 bit (ISA), 16 bit (ISA) and 32 bit (VLB, EISA, PCI). Each vary in how fast data can be transferred between the main board and the device connected, with 8 bit being the slowest and 32 bit being the fastest.
An opening on the motherboard (inside the system unit) that allows you to add devices to the system unit. Expansion slots allow you to add an internal modem, sound card, video accelerator, or other enhancements.
A connector on the system board that can hold an expansion card such as a display adaptor, disk drive controller, I/O card, memory expansion.
A slot in a motherboard where an expansion card such as a video or sound card is inserted for the purpose of adding capability to a computer system. Examples of expansion slots are the PCI slot, and the AGP slot.
