What are the three types of cards you will likely see used today?

1. AGP, PCI and PCIe (PCI Express)
2. AGP, PCI and ISA
3. ISA, PCI and PCIe (PCI Express)
4. AGP, AMR, PCI

Will a PCI sound card work in a PCI Express slot?

Conventional PCI will not work in PCI Express slots. However, PCI Express x1 cards will work in PCI Express x16 slots without issue. 

What is the main differences between a PCIe and a PCI bus?

1. The PCI interface is much faster than PCIe and also allows for a lot more functionality and features. 
2. The PCI Express interface is much slower than a PCI but it allows for a lot more functionality and features. 
3. PCI Express and PCI are interchangeable and the speed of both of them are virtually identical.
4. The PCI Express interface is much faster than a PCI and also allows for a lot more functionality and features. 

Which type of devices typically use mini PCI cards?

1. to add internal cards (such as wireless cards) to servers
2. to add internal cards (such as wireless cards) to any type of computer where you want to save money and / or space
3. to add internal cards (such as wireless cards) to tablets and phones
4. to add internal cards (such as wireless cards) to laptops or compact desktops where space is limited

Which bus type is commonly used by graphics cards today?

1. PCI
2. PCI Express x16
3. PCIx
4. ISA

What type of slot can a PCI x1 expansion card be placed in?

1. It can be placed in a PCIe x1 slot or a PC1e x16
2. It can be placed in a PCI x1 only
3. It can be placed in a PCIe x16 Slot or a PCIE x1 (but a PCIe x16 can't be placed in a PCIe x1 Slot).
4. It can be placed in a PCIe x16 Slot or a PCIE x1 (a PCIe x16 can be placed in a PCIe x1 Slot).
