I've always wondered what kind of devices use this interface, I have two of them on my mobo, and have absolutely no idea what significance they have.
 
But wats the difference between that and a normal pci slot if there is one?
 
Pci 1x is normal.. I think. Pci 4x on the other hand.. I have no idea what that is. And I have one of those slots lol!
 
there is a difference between regular pci slots and pci-express X1 but i've not the slightest what exactly lol
 
pci-express provides more bandwidth. PCI-Express 4x, 2x, and 1x is used for raid controllers, ethernet cards etc.
