Study Notes

Graphics Card Installation

High-end graphics cards typically install in specific motherboard slots, notably PCI Express.
The recommended slot for maximum performance is PCI Express 5.0 x16 due to its increased data bandwidth compared to lower versions and configurations.
PCI Express 6.0 x32 is the latest technology but is not widely supported yet in current motherboards.

Communication Standards

Protocols define the set of rules and standards used for communication between two entities.
Communication protocols ensure proper data transfer, error handling, and signal integrity.
Examples include TCP/IP for networking, USB for connectivity, and HTTP for web communication.
