Thread: PCI and hypertransport technology on motherboard

What is hypertransport technology on PCI? I want information on execution of this technology. And what new is introduced in this part. PCI is surely play vital role on hard ware component. Also give details about PCI express.

1) PCI Standards and PCI Express: As processor speeds increasingly mount in GHz range, many companies are functioning eagerly to increase next-generation bus standard. Many feel that PCI, such as ISA earlier than it, is fast pending upper limit of what it can do. All of projected new standards have something in common. They suggest doing away with shared-bus expertise utilized in PCI and moving to point-to-point switching connection. Means direct connection among two devices on bus is identified as they are communicating with each other. Basically, as these two nodes are talking, no other device can access that path. By giving many direct links, like bus can permit many devices to communicate with no chance of slowing each other down.

2) PCI-Express, developed by Intel, looks to be next huge thing in bus expertise. Firstly, quicker buses were developed for high-end servers. These were known as PCI-X and PCI-X 2.0, but they were not proper for home PC market, as it was costly to build motherboards with PCI-X.
