PCI-X is an extension to the original PCI slot. It uses a 64-bit data bus (most but not all PCI slots are 32-bit) and runs much faster than PCI (PCI runs at 33 or 66 MHz, PCI-X ranges from 66 MHz to 533 MHz). PCI cards can be used in a PCI-X slot, and most PCI-X cards will run in a PCI slot.
PCI-E (PCI Express) is a totally different architecture. The connectors are similar, but PCI-E is a serialized bus, whereas PCI and PCI-X was parallelized. In PCI-E, there are fewer data paths but the paths run much faster. Think of it as the difference between a six lane highway with a speed limit of 35 MPH vs. a two lane highway with a speed limit of 75 MPH.
PCI was the expansion card that allowed peripherals to communicate between each other, but then Intel, Dell, HP, and IBM came together to surpass the Previous models (PCI, AGP and PCI-X) and created the PCIe which has a much faster bus speed.
The main difference is the length of the slot. Generally speaking, PCI slot is more longer than PCI express slot.. The PCI express is the latest version of PCI. it is more powerful and can receive more frequency than PCI

With pci express each pci express slot for a pcie card has its own link or bus on the what?
North Bridge
What is the difference between pci express 2.0 and pci?
PCI-E 2.0 ha s a higher bandwidth meaning more data can travel faster between the card in the slot and the motherboard/CPU. Im not sure of the exact numbers of data transfer speed but I'm sure the speed improvement is significant
Can you use pci express 2.0 in pci express 16 slot?
You cannot use a 2.0 pci express card in a pci express slot because the technology is newer. For example: It would be like putting a playstation 3 game into a playstation 2 console.
Dell 4600 and you want to know if you can use a pci express graphics card in a pci slot you have one open white slot and one open green one and you were wondering which type agp pci pci-express?
PCI-e card cannot be used on the 4600 motherboard.
Will an 2.0 pci express video card work in a 1.0 pci express slot?
Yes it will but the video card will run at PCI express 1.0 speed.
