PCI Express

PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) Express is a new standard for expansion cards that comes in different versions. Presently, we have the x16 and x1 lanes, which will be followed by x4 and x8 versions. It offers increased bandwidth for example, x1 lane offers 500MB/sec instead of just 133MB/sec for PCI.

All computers, including laptops have different buses, (collection of wires) that transmit data from one component to another.
Of course, in an ideal world, all the data in your computer should move thru just one BUS - however, most experts agree it’s not likely to happen unless we start over and build a computer system from scratch. For now we have to rely on different internal buses to move the data around - the PCI Express is a great improvement and will make your laptop faster.
