Peripheral Component Interconnect

A set of standards for buses connecting interface modules to a computer system.

Older variations of the PCI standards support 32 bit and 64 bit parallel data transfers at 33 MHz and 66 MHz rates. The newer PCIe standards support one bit wide serial "lanes" operating at various data rates (e.g., 250MB/sec or 500MB/sec). See PCI-SIG.
