pci express is better for games , cause is faster
and pci is alittle bit slower and take more longer to load
by the way pci express is only for video cards just like agp
and pci is for internet , tv , o sound adapters

PCI is getting outdated and too SLOW for 3D graphics. x1 PCIe is faster and has double the bandwidth. x16 PCIe which is the common graphics interface is very fast. Its bandwidth is 32 TIMES that of typical PCI (33mhz).

the greater desirable one is made for a photographs card, and has greater strains mentioned as buses so would be waiting to take greater information to and from the processor. So it's going to be a speedier socket. The smaller one is used for familiar components, I even have considered sound enjoying cards and community enjoying cards used in this slot. as that's smaller it has much less buses to the processor and could take much less information to and from it.
