PCI-e is just the new standard slot type for graphics cards. It has a higher theoretical bandwidth speed then agp but neiter of them have been reached so that doesn't really matter. All you really need to know is that pci-e is the new standard and you have to match each type of card with a type of motherboard, they don't mix.
