Vintage Computer Add-in cards come in three basic flavors: 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit. These terms refer to the number of data bits the card sends out at one time. Ideally a 16-bit video card sends an image to the monitor in half the time it would take for an 8-bit version. It is important to know what kind of card your vintage computer accepts. The older PCs and XTs usually have an 8-bit or PC bus, which accepts the older PC bus, which accepts only the 8-bit cards. Vintage computers which are of more recent vintage use a PCI bus combined with ISA (Industry Standard Architecture).

We owe a debt to the early developers of computer hardware.

Through ongoing developement of computer busses we are left with benefits that we take for granted in our daily computing. These include computer speed and ease of use of instantly changing computer hardware with auto configuration.

The term "expansion bus" is a frequent term in vintage computer terminology which requires elaboration. Much of the legacy of vintage bus systems are in our current computer systems today.

Thus the die was set for future hardware standards and software function as well as standard computer marketing concepts that we take for granted like mother's milk today.

From the old ASI bus to the new PCIe bus, learn the difference in bus speeds and why the PCI Express became the bus of the future.
