as well as a row of contacts (whom/that) is designed to establish an electrical connection
between the motherboard and the electronics on the card, (where/which) are mostly
integrated circuits. Depending on the form factor of the case and motherboard, a computer
system generally can have (anywhere/anyone) from one to seven expansion slots. With a
backplane system, up to 19 expansion cards can be installed.
