What is a PCIe modem?

Peripheral component interconnect modem (PCI modem) is any modem that connects to the motherboard of a computer through a peripheral component interconnect bus and is controlled by a device driver. PCI modems are also called internal modems.

What is the PCIe card?

PCIe slots and cards A PCIe or PCI express slot is the point of connection between your PC’s “peripheral components” and the motherboard.

Is PCIe the same as PCIe?

PCI Express, technically Peripheral Component Interconnect Express but often seen abbreviated as PCIe or PCI-E, is a standard type of connection for internal devices in a computer. While computers may contain a mix of various types of expansion slots, PCI Express is considered the standard internal interface.

What does PCIe Express do?

PCIe (peripheral component interconnect express) is an interface standard for connecting high-speed components. Every desktop PC motherboard has a number of PCIe slots you can use to add GPUs (aka video cards aka graphics cards), RAID cards, Wi-Fi cards or SSD (solid-state drive) add-on cards.

What does a PCI modem do?

Peripheral component interconnect modem (PCI modem) is any modem that connects to the motherboard of a computer through a peripheral component interconnect bus and is controlled by a device driver. PCI modems are also called internal modems.

What is the difference between PCI 2.0 and PCI 3.0?

Base Clock Speed: PCIe 3.0 = 8.0GHz, PCIe 2.0 = 5.0GHz, PCIe 1.1 = 2.5GHz Data Rate : PCIe 3.0 = 1000MB/s, PCIe 2.0 = 500MB/s, PCIe 1.1 = 250MB/s Total Bandwidth : (x16 link): PCIe 3.0 = 32GB/s, PCIe 2.0 = 16GB/s, PCIe 1.1 = 8GB/s

Will PCI Express 3.0 work on 2.0?

Yes PCI Express 3.0 is backwards compatible with PCI Express 2.0 slots. Like ricardo said there is no performance increase from it because there is no CPU in the market that fully utilizes 3.0.

What is PCI Express x16?

The PCI Express x16 graphics interface (also called PCIe x16) offers increased bandwidth and scalability over the previous AGP8X generation. PCI Express x16 allows up to 4 GB/s of peak bandwidth per direction, and up to 8 GB/s concurrent bandwidth. PCI-Express x16 is used by the Intel 915 and 925 and other chipsets which support PCI-Express.
