Its actually not only a video card slot but also a new PCI Slot. Its called PCIe or PCI Express. AGP goes to 8x and stops PCIe goes to 16x and it is said that the graphic cards still don't use all the bandwith in the 16x lane(they come different lanes but always a 16x for graphic cards sometimes two for SLI support). If you would like to learn more about PCIe then check out Intels website they designed it.
BTW PCIx isn't PCIe that is a common mistake.

PCI-E but to use it (a Ge Force 6600 GT PCI-E) you will need a new Motherboard with PCI-E slot or slots (two for Crossfire / SLi)
