		The PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) architecture is without doubt the best broad-application computing platform available to the public for meeting today's PC computing needs.
		This means that each component has a specific method that it uses to interact with adjacent components.
		Because these methods of component interaction are the same in all PCI systems, the PCI design is inherently adaptable to a variety of configurations.

	PCI Express to usher in PC changes \| CNET News.com
		Intel is among the strongest backers of PCI Express, a successor to the PCI standard used to connect devices such as network adapters, chips and sound cards to one another inside PCs.
		Many of these interconnections require data to travel in a parallel fashion, which requires that the wires connecting chips to each other be the same length.
		Months later, Intel came out with an interconnect standard called NGIO, or next-generation input-output, as a potential successor to PCI-X. The major server companies then developed Future I/O. Eventually, Future I/O and NGIO were merged into InfiniBand.

	The PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) Local Bus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		PCI is an open, non-proprietary local bus standard offering high-performance for multiple peripheral devices, and works as a processor-independent bridge between the CPU and high-speed peripherals.
		This means it employs a 32-bit data bus that supports multiple peripheral components and add-in cards at a peak bandwidth of 132 MB/second, which minimises CPU wait-states and allows multiple operations to be executed simultaneously.
		In this way, large amounts of data or bursts are read from or written to a single address, which is then incremented for the next byte in the stream.

		Every PCI device must contain meaningful values in the required registers, whereas the contents of the optional registers depend on the actual capabilities of the peripheral.
		The optional fields are not used unless the contents of the required fields indicate that they are valid.
		Thus, the required fields assert the board's capabilities, including whether the other fields are usable or not.

		Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI), as its name implies is a standard that describes how to connect the peripheral components of a system together in a structured and controlled way.
		The standard describes the way that the system components are electrically connected and the way that they should behave.
		The PCI buses and PCI-PCI bridges are the glue connecting the system components together; the CPU is connected to PCI bus 0, the primary PCI bus as is the video device.

		Previously, most computers had been one-of-a-kind, custom built machines with relatively few peripherals — a paper tape reader and punch, a teletype, a line printer and, if you were lucky, a disk.
		The peripheral interface logic was tightly coupled to the processor logic.
		Fundamentally, a computer bus consists of a set of parallel “wires” attached to several connectors into which peripheral boards may be plugged.

	Techworld.com - Briefings - PCI Express - not just faster but revolutionary
		PCI, or Peripheral Component Interconnect, has become established as the most common way of connecting internal peripherals to computers.
		PCI Express is, in fact, an adventurous concept, since it aims to solve in a single swipe all of the shortcomings of previous PCI implementations.
		Although hard to believe in some cases (why would a component interconnect technology replace a system interconnect technology, such as Ethernet) it wouldn't come as a great shock if, at some point in the future, technologies started to converge.

		High speed working memory, such as RAM, ROM or, in the old days, core would not normally be referred to as peripherals.
		The more modern term "device" is also more general in that it is used for things such as a pseudo-tty, a RAM drive, or a network adaptor.
		Some argue that, since the advent of the personal computer, the motherboard, hard disk, keyboard, mouse, and monitor are all parts of the base system, and only use the term "peripheral" for optional additional components.
