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 ...

This Design Idea describes a VHDL implementation of a PCI 2.2-bus arbiter (Figure 1). Any PCI system may have one or more PCI-master devices. Most devices can behave as target hosts, but one must be a ...

The XIO2001 is a single-function PCI Express to PCI translation bridge that is fully compliant to the PCI Express to PCI/PCI-X Bridge Specification, Revision 1.0. For downstream traffic, the bridge ...

If rumors floating around the 'Net are true, Intel is set to drop support for the PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) bus when it launches its next-generation 6-series of chipsets with support for ...

A brief timeline of PC graphics bus interfaces. The history of the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus. The status of the current industry-standard PCI Express (PCIe) bus. Prior to the PC era, ...

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 ...

The early days of home computing were quite a jungle of different standards and convoluted solutions to make one piece of hardware work on as many different platforms as possible. IBM’s PC was an ...

For more than a decade the PCI bus has been the backbone of personal computers. Other systems, such as telephony and networking, adopted the technology for its cost and performance advantages. But now ...

OPINION: When new PC standards come online there is a danger to assume that the benefit will come from an immediate performance boost. Danger because one of the defining features that sets modern ...

PCI Express is a technology that consistently makes headlines, with new specifications boasting ever-improving performance regularly appearing in the news. It may come as a surprise, then, to learn ...

In a nutshell, I'm trying to install Win98se onto my niece's computer. I took the drive out, set it up as a USB drive on my main box and removed all of her pics and burned them to a CD. Then I ...
