AGP:

A brief description:
Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) is a parallel expansion card standard, designed for attaching
a video card to a computer system to assist in the acceleration of 3D computer graphics. It
was originally designed as a successor to PCI-type connections for video cards.

Data transfer rate:

The current PCI bus supports a data transfer rate up to 133 MB/s, while AGP (at 66 mhz)
supports up to 533 MB/s, which makes the AGP bus substantially faster.

AMR:
A brief description:
The audio/modem riser (AMR) is a riser expansion slot found on the motherboards of some
Pentium III, Pentium 4, Duron, and Athlon personal computers. It was designed by Intel to
interface with chipsets and provide analog functionality, such as sound cards and modems,
on an expansion card.

Data transfer rate:

Adaptive Multi-Rate - WideBand (AMR-WB) files support a frequency range of 50 Hz to 7 Khz
and bit rates of 12.65 kbps to 23.85 kbps.

CNR:

A brief description:
is a slot found on certain PC motherboards and used for specialized networking, audio, and
telephony equipment. A motherboard manufacturer can choose to provide audio, networking,
or modem functionality in any combination on a CNR card.

Data transfer rate:

Type A CNR connector, while the pin-out for the seventeen-pin LAN interface is defined in the
Type B CNR connector.

EISA:

A brief description:
EISA was designed to compete with IBM’s Micro Channel Architecture (MCA) - a patented 16
and 32-bit parallel computer bus for IBM’s PS/2 computers. EISA extended the advanced
technology (AT) bus architecture and facilitated bus sharing between multiple central
processing units (CPU).

Data transfer rate:

EISA uses a synchronous transfer at a clock speed of 8 MHz. It has a full 32-bit data and
address bus and can address up to 4GB of memory. In theory the maximum transfer rate is 4
bytes for every clock cycle. As the clock runs at 8 MHz, the maximum data rate is 32 MB/s.

ISA:

A brief description
ISA was designed to connect peripheral cards to the motherboard and allows for bus
mastering. Only the first 16 MB of main memory is addressable. The original 8-bit bus ran from
the 4.77 MHz clock of the 8088 CPU in the IBM PC and PC/XT.

Data transfer rate:

The ISA bus is set to run at a rate of 8MHz. This yields a maximum theoretical speed of 8MHz
x 16 bits = 128 megabits/second.

PCI:

A brief description:
is a built-in slot on a device that allows for the attachment of various hardware components
such as network cards, modems, sound cards, disk controllers and other peripherals. It was
often a component of traditional do-it-yourself (DIY) desktop computer design.

Data transfer rate:

PCI operates at a maximum speed of 266 MBps at 66 MHz or 133 MBps at 33 MHz.

PCIe:
A brief description:
PCIe, or peripheral component interconnect express, is an interface standard for connecting
high-speed input output (HSIO) components. Every high-performance computer motherboard
has a number of PCIe slots you can use to add GPUs, RAID cards, WiFi cards, or SSD (solid-
state drive) add-on cards.

Data transfer rate:

the maximum theoretical data transfer rate is up to 250MB/s. PCI-E 2.0: The maximum
theoretical data transfer rate is up to 500MB/s. PCI-E 3.0: The maximum theoretical data
transfer rate is up to 1GB/s.

VESA:

A brief description:
is an expansion bus on some computer motherboards. A VLB interface adds an expansion
slot for a video card to accelerate graphics processing. A VLB expansion slot consists of an
ISA slot paired with an additional slot in line behind it.

Data transfer rate:

This bus can transfer data at 132MB/sec. VESA buses are basically an ISA slot with an extra
slot on the end. The whole thing is about 4 inches longer than an ISA slot.
