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) ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Currently dominating the desktop PC motherboard and graphics markets, the PCI Express protocol is poised to supplant PCI and PCI-X interface as the dominant high-bandwidth interconnect for the server, ...
