    Introduction 1.5. INTRODUCE THE PCI - BUS Connecting devices to a CPU local bus can dramatically increase the speed of I/O- bound peripherals with only a slight increase in cost over traditional systems. This price / performance point has created a vast market potential for local bus products. The main barrier to this market has been the lack of an accepted standard for local bus peripherals.
