  1. Adapter Cards and Expansion Ports

  2. There are several types of adapter cards, but the majority of them use PCI, PCIe, and AGP expansion slots. • Adapter cards allow users to install more powerful components than those embedded on the motherboard and the addition of features not originally available with their systems.

  3. Peripheral Component Interconnect • PCI is the oldest expansion slot still common on motherboards. It has mostly been replaced by AGP and PCI Express slots.

  4. Accelerated Graphics Port • AGP provided much faster speeds for video cards than PCI, but it has mostly been replaced by PCI Express.

  5. PCI Express • PCI Express is currently used for video cards and other adapter cards. Different speed slots are used for different types of devices.

  6. Expansion Slots This motherboard has two green PCIe 16x slots, two white PCI slots, and one white PCIe 1x slot.
