	PCI Bus Overview by Quatech
		First released in 1992, the Peripheral Component Interface (PCI) has rapidly evolved into a viable replacement for the ISA bus, and is the most commonly used method for adding boards to a PC.
		PCI provides a new way of connecting peripherals to both the system memory and the CPU, with the goal of alleviating many problems encountered when installing new cards in an ISA based system (IRQ conflicts, address conflicts, etc.).
		PCI's burst mode facilitates this operation as it allows a single address cycle to be followed by multiple data cycles.

	What is PCI? - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: PCI, Peripheral Component Interconnect
		PCI transmits 32 bits at a time in a 124-pin connection (the extra pins are for power supply and grounding) and 64 bits in a 188-pin connection in an expanded implementation.
		PCI uses all active paths to transmit both address and data signals, sending the address on one clock cycle and data on the next.
		The full-size PCI form factor is 312 millimeters long; short PCIs range from 119 to 167 millimeters in length to fit into smaller slots where space is an issue.

	Linux Device Drivers, 2nd Edition: Chapter 15: Overview of Peripheral Buses
		The PCI architecture was designed as a replacement for the ISA standard, with three main goals: to get better performance when transferring data between the computer and its peripherals, to be as platform independent as possible, and to simplify adding and removing peripherals to the system.
		Mapping a PCI region in the physical address space is thus performed by setting a suitable value in the high bits of a configuration register.
		Despite the PCI specs stating that the I/O address space is 32 bits wide, a few manufacturers, clearly x86 biased, pretend that it is 64 KB and do not implement all 32 bits of the base address register.

		PCI Express-enabled motherboards are going to start becoming more and more common, and with the new bus's increasing ubiquity will come the inevitable confusion that accompanies the rise of any new technology, especially one as complex and feature-rich as PCI Express.
		The northbridge is tied to a secondary bridge, the southbridge, which routes traffic from the different I/O devices on the system: the hard drives, USB ports, Ethernet ports, etc. The traffic from these devices is routed through the southbridge to the northbridge and then on to the CPU and/or memory.
		As is evident from the diagram above, the PCI bus is attached to the southbridge.

	What Does PCI Mean (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		PCI is an acronym for Peripeheral Component Interconnect.
		The speed of a PCI card is typically a function of its clock speed (either 33 or 66 Mhz, or Millions of Operations per Second) and of its bitrate (how much data it is able to synchronously transmit at once).
		A PCI slot on a motherboard is usually not as long as an ISA slot, but is longer than the AGP slot.

	PCI - Peripheral Component Interconnect
		PCI slots are used to connect a computer's internal components such as modems, sound-cards, network cards, etc.
		There are 2 different implementations of PCI, one which is a 32-bit bus running at 33Mhz and the other (PCI 2.0) which is a 64-bit bus running at 66Mhz.
		The development of the PCI bus specification is controlled by PCI-SIG whose board is made up of members of Adaptec, AMD, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Phoenix Technologies and more.

	Howstuffworks "How PCI Works"
		PCI cards use 47 pins to connect (49 pins for a mastering card, which can control the PCI bus without CPU intervention).
		The PCI bus is able to work with so few pins because of hardware multiplexing, which means that the device sends more than one signal over a single pin.
		Although Intel proposed the PCI standard in 1991, it did not achieve popularity until the arrival of Windows 95 (in 1995).

	SysOpt.com - What is AGP?
		AGP is based on the PCI 2.1 standard which calls for a 66MHz PCI bus speed.
		PCI makes one request, and does not make another until the data it requested has been transferred.
		Thus, of course AGP is going to win out over PCI since the large amount of data can be read directly from the system memory rather than having to be loaded into the graphics card's memory.

	PCI Express Battles PCI-X \| Tom's Hardware (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The PCI Express (PCIe) interface has been around for about a year and a half now, but so far it has only been able to establish itself as a graphics interface.
		Desktop motherboards with PCI Express support additional expansion slots, but today these are being used just as infrequently as their higher bandwidth versions on server and workstation motherboards.
		The aged parallel 32 Bit PCI bus also required replacement;, it can only be called lame today, as its total bandwidth is relatively low and shared among all PCI devices.
