PCI TechnologyThe PCI local bus is a high-performance bus that
provides a processor-independent data path between
the CPU in a PC and high-speed peripherals. This
interconnect mechanism is designed specifically to
accommodate multiple high-performance peripheral
devices that support networking and disk
subsystems, graphics, full-motion video, and
multimedia.
