Expansion Slots:
An opening in a computer where a circuit boards can be inserted to add new capabilities to the computer. Nearly all personal computers except portables contain expansion slots for adding more memory, graphics capabilities, and support for special devices. The boards inserted into the expansion slots are called expansion boards, expansion cards, cards, add-ins and add-ones....
Expansion slots for PCs come in two basic sizes: half- and full-size. Half-size slots are also called 8-bits slots because they can transfer 8 bits at a time. Full-size slots are sometimes called 16-bit slots. In addition, modern PCs include PCI slots for expansion boards that connect directly to the PCI bus.
