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.
