Radical differences in electrical signaling and bus protocol require the use of a different mechanical form factor and expansion connectors (and thus, new motherboards and new adapter boards); PCI slots and PCI Express slots are not interchangeable.

Adding additional expansion slots for older motherboards could be accomplished using a riser board, which would add several ISA or PCI slots.

PCI Express uses physical slots to interconnect the expansion cards to the motherboard. The common PCI Express slots we see on motherboards are PCIe x1, PCIe x4, PCIe x8, and PCIe x16.
