By placing the riser card comprising connectors for both ISA and IPC expansion cards in a connector arranged on the side of the motherboard of a computer of the AT type rather than in a connector arranged centrally of the motherboard, a large number of advantages are obtained: the routing of PCI signals is made shorter; the cooling within the computer housing is improved; the components on the PCI expansion cards come to lie at the top of the card; the case for the computer can be simpler and there is no longer any connector arranged centrally of the motherboard which makes the through-connection between components on opposite sides thereof more difficult.
