Advance PCI technology with the introduction of the PCI Express Card. The PCI Express is the new standard serial connectivity card in PCI technology and the successor for server- and client-system I/O interconnects. The PCI Express Card touts many advantages over the traditional PCI card including point-to-point link dedicated to each device, instead of PCI shared bus; lower latency in server architectures due to a more direct connection to the chip set; small connectors with easier implementation for system designers and advanced features via isochronous channels for guaranteed bandwidth delivery, advanced power management and hot swap support.
