I/O Bus (1 Viewer)

[Winston]

Guys you should also know a little bit about your System I/O Buses, i'm worried if they might give it to you's and you'll be sitting there thinking all day, like they did give a ports question last yr:

So here's a little gist off the top of my head


main ones:


ISA
VESA aka V-L
AGP
PCI


ISA - Industry Standard Architecture, run's at 16 Bit 8 Mhz

VESA - Video Electronic Standards Association, not sure about the speed, but it's and extension to ISA, gotta look into it, but ISA's cant fit into VESA slots


AGP - Accelerated Graphics Port, so you can plug a graphics card in, runs at 64 Bit

PCI - Peripheral Component Interconnect- runs at 32 Bit, 33Mhz



I need to research a bit later once i have ill update it

Thanks winston, yeah I'm sure they can throw anything at us, would they give us a diagram of a motherboard and ask us to name the bios, cmos etc, do you think ?

depends wat it is if its a photograph, possibly, but it would be harsh on some.

Yeah, Unfortunetly some of them seem to have low res pictures, which are difficult to make out, what is what.

VESA isnt really a slot. Just a standard set for video cards. For example, signaling "sleep mode" to the monitor etc....

and AGP slots run at 66mhz if u want to know.

um....I think all of the things you have listed are actually expansion slots...besides VESA
