Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The PCI bus is a high-speed expansion bus that connects higher speed devices. It is designed to improve the speed with which data is transmitted between devices such as sound cards, network cards, and video cards. Option A is incorrect because the PCI bus is not the slowest expansion bus, and option B is incorrect because the bus designed by Intel to improve 3-D graphics and video transmit is AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port). Option D is incorrect because expansion cards still need to be installed into PCI slots.
