Understanding PCIe Slots And Expansion Cards
PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) is a high-speed interface used to connect expansion cards to a computer’s motherboard. It allows users to enhance or expand the capabilities of their system by adding specialized hardware.
PCIe is a standardized interface that replaces older technologies like PCI and AGP. It connects directly to the motherboard and the CPU, offering high-speed communication between devices and the system.
Benefits of Using Expansion Cards
Customizability: Tailor your PC to specific tasks.
Performance Boost: Add specialized power without replacing the entire system.
Cost-effective Upgrades: Expand capabilities over time
