Interconnect) bus was introduced by
Intel corporation in 1993.
It is fast , cheap , flexible and high
performance
expansion
bus
architecture as compared to the
earlier VL-bus and ISA.
The PCI is a recent high bandwidth,
processor independent bus.
This bus is support various high speed
device.
PCI bus is designed to be easily
interfaced

It provide better bandwidth
within video system
It support automatic system
configuration to simplify
installation
It coexists with ISA/EISA/MCA/PCI
It has demultiplexing of address
and data bus which improves bus
efficiency
