PCI-Express port

Comment:

I was wondering, for the PCI-Express cards, do they go in PCI slots like the PCI cards right now do? Or does it require this new special PCI-Express slot Ive been hearing about?

PCI Express is NOT the same as PCI-X slots, Look Here PCI EXPRESS " You're only as safe as your last update "
