1.扩展的外围组件互连(PCI-X)：
扩展的PCI-X或外围组件互连是与扩展卡一起提供的本地计算机总线。它是外围组件互连的扩展版本，具有更高的带宽。它由IBM，HP，Compaq于1998年推出，具有支持更高时钟速度和热插拔的功能。它是并行设计的，宽度为64位。由于其运行缓慢，后来被其他名为PCI-E的版本替代。
2.外围组件互连Express(PCI-E)：
PCI-E是外围组件互连扩展(PCI-X)的替代版本，于2003年由英特尔，戴尔，惠普和IBM推出。 PCI Express是连接图形卡，Wifi，硬盘驱动器和其他硬件设备的串行总线。它比PCI-X更快地工作，输入和输出引脚数更少，因此比PCI-X更好。这个版本比旧版本具有许多功能。
