I have a question about the new PCI express to come out soon.

Not being completely computer-literate, does this mean it will work in existing PCI slots , or do u have to buy a new mb?

Thanks for any reply.

The new PCI Express or PCX is pci slots that have a 4 gig download/upload. I could be wrong but I think its only on new mobo's

The PCI-E slot is not a PCI slot.  Initially it will replace the AGP port.

PCI-Express explained briefly in this article, I am still not sure I follow it 100% though...but change is what happens in the PC market.
