Peripheral Component Interconnect 
(PCI)

 

The Power Macintosh 8600 and 9600 Series and Workgroup 

Server 9650 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.
