What is the function of Expansion Slots in desktop computer motherboards?

PCI-E slot (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express): PCI-E slot is the most important type of expansion slot on modern motherboards. It is used to install various expansion cards, such as independent graphics cards, sound cards, network cards, M.2 interface solid-state drive adapter cards, etc. PCI-E slots have different versions and bandwidth specifications, such as PCI-E x1, PCI-E x4, PCI-E x16, etc. Among them, the PCI-E x16 slot is mainly used to install high-performance independent graphics cards. It can provide high enough bandwidth to meet the graphics card's data transmission needs when processing complex graphics and video tasks. For example, when playing 3D games or professional graphic design (such as using Adobe Photoshop, AutoCAD and other software), a high-performance independent graphics card is connected to the motherboard through the PCI-E x16 slot to achieve smooth graphics rendering and display. PCI-E x1 slot and PCI-E x4 slot are usually used to install devices such as sound cards, network cards, USB expansion cards, etc. Their bandwidth is relatively low, but it is sufficient to meet the data transmission needs of these devices.

PCI slot (Peripheral Component Interconnect): Although PCI slots are gradually replaced by PCI-E slots on modern motherboards, they can still be seen in some old motherboards or specific application scenarios. PCI slots are mainly used to install some traditional expansion devices, such as old sound cards, network cards, TV cards, etc. Its bandwidth is relatively low, and the data transmission speed is not as good as PCI-E slots, but it is still usable for some devices that do not require high bandwidth.
