Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI)
Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCIPeripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) is a local computer bus for attaching hardware devices in a computer and is part of the PCI Local Bus standard. The PCI bus supports the functions found on a processor bus but in a standardized format that is independent of any given processor's native bus. Devices connected to the PCI bus appear to a bus master to be connected directly to it's own bus and are assigned addresses in the processor's address space.
