Peripheral Component Interconnect
(PCI)
The Power Macintosh 7200 Series and WS 7250 computers
offer a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) expansion
bus. Because the PCI bus is an industry standard, most
existing PCI 2.0-compliant cards (with the addition of a Mac
OS-specific software driver) will work in these computers.
PCI offers significantly higher performance than the NuBus
architecture used in previous Macintosh models. Running at
33 MHz, the PCI bus is up to three times faster than NuBus,
offering overall enhanced system performance, particularly
in the areas of video and networking.
