There will be other connector types, but the above ones are all you need to pay attention to in order to complete this job.
Step Two -- The Basic Sort
Pick up each card and using the following chart, put each card in one of five piles (video, sound, modem, network, and everything else.)
Step Three -- The Sub-sort
Get someone to check your work so far, and they will show you how to tell PCI, ISA, and AGP slots from all the other types of card slots. Then you can use the below charts to subsort each of the five piles into a grand total of twelve piles. (See the bold ovals below each of the five main types to do your sub-sort.)
