Which of the following slots on a motherboard are best for a video card?

Which of the following slots on a motherboard are best for a video card? Each correct answer
represents a complete solution. Choose two.

A.
PCI

B.
PCIe

C.
EISA

D.
AGP

Explanation:

AGP and PCIe are the best slots for a video card.
PCI Express (PCIe), also known as 3rd Generation I/O (3GIO), is a type of computer bus. It is a new
I/O bus technology that has more
bandwidth than PCI and AGP slots. It uses two low-voltage differential pairs, at 2.5Gb/s in each
direction. It is designed to replace PCI and
AGP expansion slots. The bus is available in several different bus widths: x1, x2, x4, x8, x12, x16, and
x32. PCIe is able to transfer data in
both directions at a time. PCIe hardware will work on operating systems that support PCI.
AGP is a high speed 32-bit bus designed for high performance graphics and video support. It allows a
video card to have direct access to a
computer’s RAM, which enables fast video performance. AGP provides a bandwidth of up to 2,133
MB/second.
Answer C is incorrect. The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) is a 32-bit PC expansion
bus designed as a superset of a

16-bit ISA bus. The EISA bus is designed to increase the speed and expand the data width of the
legacy expansion bus while still supporting
older ISA cards. EISA slots are obsolete now.
Answer A is incorrect. PCIe and AGP slots are better than PCI slot for a video card.
