1. 外围组件互连(PCI)：
外围组件互连或缩写形式的 PCI 是连接计算机系统中硬件设备的计算机总线。常规 PCI 是 PCI 的另一个名称。 PCI 被设计为并行总线并具有分配时间量的单个总线时钟。 PCI 于 1992 年由 Intel 推出。 PCI 总线的标准宽度是 32 位或 64 位。热插拔是 PCI 中的一项可选功能。
2. 外围组件互连扩展(PCI-X)：
PCI-X 或外围组件互连扩展是与扩展卡一起提供的本地计算机总线。它是具有更高带宽的外围组件互连的扩展版本。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特点。它是并行设计的，宽度为64位。由于其运行缓慢，它后来被名为 PCI-E 的其他版本所取代。
