Communication. There are hundreds of books about the various types, styles and strategies. You can earn degrees in the study of it. It’s a life skill everyone must learn, and there is a constant pursuit for ways to more effectively communicate.
The PCI Express® standard can help with effective communication, but just for electronic devices instead of people – you’ll still need to buy that book. This standard creates a connection for high bandwidth communication between a PCI Express® device and the motherboard, or other hardware, inside the computer. Ultimately, this allows a system to have its functions expanded with video, sound, network, storage and other expansion cards.
