Basics Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) - 7
Peripheral Component Interconnect
(PCI)
The Power Macintosh 9500 Series 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 the Power Macintosh
9500 Series 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.
