Man I'm so out of what's going on with desktop computing lol, feeling old Could somebody explain what these are?

  Expansion cards, they were supported by the original PC from the 80s and even before that.

    I'm not that old lol, was wondering specifically what they were
    • mixmastamyk 3y ago
      As you can see they're still a thing, so you could be any age from 0-60.

  left to right, had to search a few of them. You're probably not out of it, it's just relatively niche professional stuff. Half of them are only relevant for media professionals for example. Sonnet card - adds storage via a couple SATA SSDs OWC 8M2 - adds storage via up to 8 NVME drives Avid HDX card, runs DSP for ProTools (audio) Kona 5, video capture and I/O Lynx E44, high-quality audio I/O Blackmagic decklink SDI 4k - SDI video capture ATTO high-speed ethernet card, maybe 50GbE ATTO Celerity Fibre Channel Adapter - Storage HBA edit to add linebreaks
