This chapter explains how to enhance the capabilities of your computer by
adding PCI expansion cards.
Note: There are two chassis types, Minitower and Low-Profile. Where the
differences in the chassis types are significant both types will be illustrated;

What you need to know about adding expansion cards
You can install PCI cards on the PCI riser card which is plugged into the mother
board on your computer. For example you can increase processing power,
improve graphics and video performance, or add networking and
communications capabilities. The PCI riser card allows you to install up to three
standard PCI cards.
