PCI slot
PCI is an acronym for Peripheral Component Interconnect. As the name implies, this is a slot that allows you to connect various peripheral devices to your PC, such as ethernet cards, sound cards, and TV tuner cards. The slots themselves can only be accessed by opening your computer's case, so they're not designed to support the frequent peripheral-swapping you can do with connection technologies like USB and i.LINK.
