Originally developed by the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (), the ExpressCard standard is maintained by the USB Implementers Forum ().The host device supports PCI Express, USB 2.0 (including Hi-Speed), and USB 3.0 (SuperSpeed) [2] (ExpressCard 2.0 only) connectivity through the ExpressCard slot; cards can be designed to use any of these modes.
Mobile PCI Express Module (MXM) is an interconnect standard for GPUs (MXM Graphics Modules) in laptops using PCI Express created by MXM-SIG. The goal was to create a non-proprietary, industry standard socket, so one could easily upgrade the graphics processor in a laptop, without having to buy a whole new system or relying on proprietary vendor upgrades.
PCI Express Mini Card (also known as Mini PCI Express, Mini PCIe, Mini PCI-E, mPCIe, and PEM), based on PCI Express, is a replacement for the Mini PCI form factor. It is developed by the PCI-SIG . The host device supports both PCI Express and USB 2.0 connectivity, and each card may use either standard.
A typical 32-bit, 5 V-only PCI card, in this case, a SCSI adapter from Adaptec A motherboard with two 32-bit PCI slots and two sizes of PCI Express slots. Work on PCI began at the Intel Architecture Labs (IAL, also Architecture Development Lab) c. 1990. A team of primarily IAL engineers defined the architecture and developed a proof of concept ...
1U 1-slot 32-Bit PCI Riser Card 2U 3-slot 32-Bit PCI Riser Card. A riser is usually connected to the mainboard's slot through an edge connector, though some, such as NLX and Next Unit of Computing Extreme, instead are plugged into an edge connector on the mainboard itself. In general, the main purpose is to change the orientation of the ...
PC Card is a parallel peripheral interface for laptop computers and PDAs. [1] The PCMCIA originally introduced the 16-bit ISA-based PCMCIA Card in 1990, but renamed it to PC Card in March 1995 to avoid confusion with the name of the organization. [2]
Slot 1 and Slot A also used edge connectors; the processor being mounted on a card with an edge connector, instead of directly to the motherboard as before and since. IBM PCs used edge connector sockets attached to ribbon cables to connect 5.25" floppy disk drives . 3.5" drives use a pin connector instead.
A barebook computer (or barebone laptop) is an incomplete notebook PC.A barebone laptop is similar to a barebone computer, but in a laptop form.. As it leaves the factory, it contains only elements strictly tied to the computer's design (case, motherboard, display, keyboard, pointing device, etc.), and the consumer or reseller has to add standardized off-the-shelf components such as CPU and ...
