Hi All,

A lurker here, just wanting to educate and pitch in where i can...

PCIExpress card slots are intended to take the place of PCI, PCI-X and
AGP.  There are some high end graphics card adapters available in
PCIexpress. Dabs and the likes sell them.

See the WIKI below for more details on the PCI Express....

Also see the WIKI below for more details on PCMCIA....

Hope this enlightens you...

Regards,

Darren
