PCI
Peripheral Component Interface/Interconnect. A self-configuring personal
computer local bus designed by Intel. Most modern PCs include a PCI bus in
addition to a more general ISA expansion bus. PCI is a 32-bit bus, but supports a
64-bit extension for new processors, such as the Pentium II. It can run at clock
speeds of 33 or 66 MHz. At 32 bits and 33 MHz, it yields a throughput rate of
133 megabits per second. 64-bit implementations running at 66 MHz provide
524 Mbps. See ISA.
peripheral

device.
pixels

spot on the screen that a computer can address.
