A high-speed peripheral interconnect from Intel introduced in 2002. Note that although abbreviated PCX, PCI Express is not the same as PCI-X. Intending to eventually replace the PCI and AGP buses entirely, PCI Express was designed to match the higher speeds of todays CPUs. It can accommodate Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet and even support chip-to-chip transfers.
Switched Architecture
Rather than the shared, parallel bus structure of PCI, PCI Express provides a high-speed, switched architecture. Each PCI Express link is a serial communications channel made up of two differential wire pairs that provide 2.5 Gbits/sec in each direction. Up to 32 of these lanes may be combined in x2, x4, x8, x16 and x32 configurations, creating a parallel interface of independently controlled serial links. The bandwidth of the switch backplane determines the total capacity of a PCI Express implementation.
Different Slots
Originally called Third Generation I/O (3GIO), PCI Express is software compatible with PCI, but not plug compatible. It also uses slots of different lengths because of the combined lanes '); >PCI Express or 8x AGP
(Accelerated Graphics Port) A high-speed port developed by Intel that is designed for the display adapter (video card) only. It provides a direct connection between the card and memory, and only one AGP slot is on the motherboard. AGP was introduced as a higher-speed alternative to the PCI-based adapter, plus it freed up a PCI slot to be used for another peripheral device. The brown AGP slot is slightly shorter than the white PCI slot and is located about an inch farther back.
AGP uses a 32-bit bus. The original AGP standard (AGP 1x) provided a data transfer rate of 264 Mbytes/sec. AGP 2x is 528 Mbytes/sec. AGP 4x is 1 Gbyte/sec. AGP 8x is 2 Gbytes/sec.

Laptop Computer
Minimum: Onboard video graphics card that has the ability to extend the windows desktop
to a second monitor.
Recommended: nVidia GeForce, ATI Radeon X200 or higher or Intel GMA 915 or higher
with 128MB unshared Video RAM Must have the ability to extend the windows desktop to a second monitor.
Capture Card: We do not recommend using a laptop for live video feeds. Most capture
solutions for laptops cause an undesirable amount of latency.

Laptop Video Card
Also called graphics adapter, display adapter, video adapter. A circuit board that enables a computer to display information on its screen'); >Video Cards cannot be upgraded.
Before you purchase a laptop:
- Be sure that the Video Card
Also called graphics adapter, display adapter, video adapter. A circuit board that enables a computer to display information on its screen');>Video Card has at least 64 MB of unshared dedicated ram. 128 MB
video ram will provide the best performance. - Verify with your laptop manufacturer that the Video Card

desktop and not just clone what is on your laptop display. - We recommend the nVidia GeForce chipsets for the Video Card
Also called graphics adapter, display adapter, video adapter. A circuit board that enables a computer to display information on its screen'); >Video Cards.
Notes:
The Screen of the laptop will be the primary monitor (working monitor) and the svga
or xvga 15 pin connector on the back will be the second monitor output ( to the projector,
or split and also go to a second monitor). The laptop must be connected to the projector,
and the unit powered on, before you boot the laptop. This will allow the computer
to see the secondary connection so it can allow you to set up a dual monitor display.
Recommended Video Card
Also called graphics adapter, display adapter, video adapter. A circuit board that enables a computer to display information on its screen'); >Video Card Chipsets:
NVidia GeForce 6600, 6800, 7600, 7900
Intel 915 or above
Notes:
- Many new computers will come with a less powerful graphics card already installed.
In some cases these cards do not handle our multimedia requirements well. Many times
they only have the ability display output on one monitor. - We recommend nVidia graphics cards because they have proven to be the least problematic
for EasyWorship customers. - Many of the ATI, Via S3 and SIS cards work. However, when trying to use the DVD
editor some of them have caused an Active Movie window to appear. This renders the
DVD editor unusable. - When shopping for a graphics card, avoid nVidia GeForce Cards with a model number
ending in LE or Turbo Cache. - Cards with LE in the name are scaled down versions of a higher end graphics card,
and may not perform well. - Turbo Cache is a new feature on nVidia Video Card
