A technician is upgrading an engineering workstation that will be used for 10-gigabit Ethernet file transfers on the company network. The system has several free expansion slots. To ensure the new network interface card can operate at full speed, which slot type should the technician choose?
PCI
ISA
PCI Express (PCIe)
Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP)
PCIe, short for Peripheral Component Interconnect Express, is a high-speed serial expansion interface designed to replace older parallel standards such as PCI, PCI-X, and AGP. Even a single-lane PCIe slot offers twice the bandwidth of conventional 32-bit PCI, and multi-lane implementations greatly exceed the 10 Gbps throughput required by modern high-speed NICs. Legacy slots like PCI, AGP, and ISA cannot provide comparable data rates and are therefore not recommended for today's performance-oriented network adapters.
