Although the ability to expand a home computer with more RAM, storage and other features has been around for as long as home computers exist, it wasn’t until the IBM PC that the concept of a fully ...

Specifications for two new interconnect technologies were released yesterday by the Peripheral Component Interconnect-Special Interest Group (PCI-SIG), the group said in a press release (download PDF) ...

What would be the performance penalty, if any, by running a raid card in a PCI slot instead of a PCI-X slot. I ask because I'm contemplating putting the raid card in my main pc but it obviously ...

Moore’s Law might be slowing down CPU compute capacity increases in recent years, but the innovation has been coming at a steady drumbeat for the interconnects used inside servers and between nodes in ...

Do PCI 2.1/2.2 slots support both 5v and 3.3v signaling?<BR><BR>I was under the assumption that all conventional PCI devices were 5v only, but am now extremely confused at which specs support which ...

If the datacenter had been taken over by InfiniBand, as was originally intended back in the late 1990s, then PCI-Express peripheral buses and certainly PCI-Express switching – and maybe even Ethernet ...

With the benefits of reduced power consumption, scalability of bandwidth, increased data throughput and improved signal integrity, PCI Express (PCIe®) has replaced legacy bus-based PCI and PCI-X, and ...

The Golden Gate family of serial peripheral interface bridge processors provides a means to connect PCI and PCI-X buses to the SPI3 and SPI4.2 high-speed serial network interfaces. The processors ...

Board maker SuperMicro (San Jose, Calif.) has a new motherboard called the P4SCT+II that puts an Intel Pentium-4 processor on the PCI-X high-bandwidth architecture. SuperMicro's P4SCT+II's provides ...

Parallel buses are giving way to high-speed serial/pseudoserial buses, especially in I/Os and system interconnects. Buses like PCI and PCI-X, the universal PC I/O and embedded system buses, will ...

(PCI-SIG, Beaverton, OR) An industry consortium founded in 1992 that owns and maintains all PCI technologies. PCI-SIG also sponsors workshops and technical conferences. Standing for PCI Special ...
