PCI Express...whats the slot look like..

[Headbust]

Sorry if its a stupid ass question but is it the type thats on your mother as with AGP and PCI?. The only pics that I usually see that are on PCI express info pages have a picture with a small slot on the outside of your computer to plug things in.

Hmmm I think the final version of PCI Express cards will be smaller card size cos of less interface pins than a PCI card size and PCI Express demo card in the pic.
