Locating Expansion Slots
The desktop system has four useable expansion slots and the minitower system has five
expansion slots (see the following figures).
two ISA slots in both systems
one PCI slot in the desktop, two PCI slots in the minitower system
one shared PCI/ISA slot in both systems
ISA expansion slots support industry-standard 8-bit or 16-bit expansion boards. The
PCI/ISA slot also supports PCI expansion boards.
PCI expansion boards run at the system’s processor speed. The PCI bus handles 32 bits of
data at a time, being wider as well as faster than the standard ISA bus. PCI boards can send
and receive data much faster which boosts system performance.
