PCIe Cards

PCIe (PCI Express) cards are for desktop computers with PCIe slots. Mac Pro and later Power Mac G5 computers, and some PCs have PCIe slots. PCIe cards can have multiple data lanes for more bandwidth to the host computer. For example, a four-lane card will be designated as PCIe x4.

PCI/PCI-X Cards

PCI/PCI-X cards are for desktop computers with PCI or PCI-X slots. PCI-X cards are the fastest versions (64-bit, 133 MHz) of PCI cards. PCI-X cards work in PCI slots and PCI cards will work in PCI-X slots. PCI-X cards achieve full performance in PCI-X slots. Some early Power Mac G5 and some PCs have PCI-X slots. Power Mac G4 and some early Power Mac G5 computers, and some PCs have PCI slots.
