What is an expansion slot?
| Hardware Expansion Slot |
| A socket inside a computer console designed to hold circuit boards and connect them to the system bus (data pathway). Most personal computers have from three to eight expansion slots, with the notable exceptions of the Apple Macintosh and Macintosh Plus, which have none, and the Macintosh SE, which has one. Expansion slots provide a means of adding new or enhanced features or more memory to the system. |
