Hi Zim!

I think that is just a PCI slot, not an express after looking at it more closely. The length is the giveaway of the slot as the "express slots" came after the PCI and are more powerful than the pci but inless it is a PCI xpres x 16 which has a rear tang keeper at the end, and I do not see that on this motherboard, I do see a cable going to something, imo its not likely an X16 slot. WHat do you think?

Decomposed > But this computer's small expansion slot is an AGP, is it not?


De,
I have a feeling that little slot is a 'PCI Express' slot.
>>>
PCI Express, officially abbreviated as PCIe or PCI-e, is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard, designed to replace the older PCI, PCI-X and AGP bus standards. It is the common motherboard interface for personal computers' graphics cards, hard disk drive host adapters, SSDs, Wi-Fi and Ethernet hardware connections.
>>>

Looking at the picture, it looks like 'PCI EX' right at
the end of it. I remember seeing that slot on more than
a few computers . . . But I do not remember ever seeing
anything plugged into them.

Zim.
