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.
