        Next-Generation Graphics Interface

    PC graphics has experienced in recent years a dramatic evolution. The current bandwidth provided by yesterday’s AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) bus is a gating factor in the performance of today’s graphics sub-systems. PCI Express architecture addresses this issue by providing a high-frequency, scalable path of communication between next-generation graphics, video, storage, and processing systems.


       

     The different types of SCSI interfaces are listed below:

      SCSI-1: Uses an 8-bit bus, supports data transfer speeds of 4 MBps.
      SCSI-2: Uses a 50-pin connector instead of a 25-pin connector, and supports multiple devices. It is currently the most common type of SCSI. Data transfer speeds are typically around 5 MBps.
      Wide SCSI: Uses a wider cable (168 cable lines to 68 pins) to support 16-bit data transfers.
      Fast SCSI: Uses an 8-bit bus, but doubles the clock rate to support data transfer speeds of 10 MBps.
      Fast Wide SCSI: Uses a 16-bit bus and supports data transfer speeds of 20 MBps.
      Ultra SCSI: Uses an 8-bit bus, supports data rates of 20 MBps.
      SCSI-3: Uses a 16-bit bus, supports data rates of 40 MBps. Also called Ultra Wide SCSI.
      Ultra2 SCSI: Uses an 8-bit bus, supports data transfer speeds of 40 MBps.
      Wide Ultra2 SCSI: Uses a 16-bit bus, supports data transfer speeds of 80 MBps.
