PCISUPPORTED is a term that can refer to a system or device that is compatible with and has the necessary drivers or firmware to utilize the PCI Express (PCIe) interface. PCI Express is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard. It is designed to replace the older PCI, PCI-X, and AGP bus standards. PCIe slots on a motherboard allow for the addition of expansion cards such as graphics cards, network interface cards, sound cards, and solid-state drives. When a device is described as PCISUPPORTED, it indicates that it can be connected to and function within a PCIe ecosystem. This means the hardware has the appropriate physical connector and the software or firmware is designed to communicate with the PCIe bus. Modern computers overwhelmingly utilize PCIe for their internal expansion, making PCISUPPORTED a common characteristic for a wide range of computer components and peripherals. This support is crucial for achieving optimal performance from devices that require high bandwidth and low latency, such as high-end graphics processing units.
