Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -PCI Express maintains software compatibility with traditional PCI but replaces the physical bus with a high-speed (2.5 Gb/s) serial bus.
Detailed explanation-2: -Whereas PCI uses a 32-bit or 64-bit parallel bus, PCI Express uses a serial bus, which is faster than a parallel bus because it transmits data in packets similar to how an Ethernet network, USB, and FireWire transmit data.
Detailed explanation-3: -A front-side bus (FSB) is mostly used on PC-related motherboards (including personal computers and servers).
Detailed explanation-4: -Most common PCIe slot is the 16 lane (x16) version most commonly used for video cards. PCI is designed to work with other expansion slots.
