As of right now, the fastest expansion bus found in a standard PC is a PCI-E or often seen as PCIe (PCI-E or PCIe stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect Express)Installing a PCIe card into your PC may be done only if the motherboards expansion slot will fit it. PCIe cards can fit into larger slots, but not smaller slots (obviously).
