The ECS MCP61SM-GM mATX motherboard features the following.



•Supports socket 940 for AMD® Athlon™ 64 FX processors

•Supports HyperTransport™ up to 2000 MT/s

•NVIDIA Chipset: MCP61S

•Two 240-pin DDR2 DIMM slots

•Four add-in card slots:

•One PCI Express ×16

•One PCI Express ×1

•Two PCI conventional

•Integrated Realtek High Definition Audio

•Integrated 10/100 Ethernet LAN

•Two Serial ATA (SATA) connectors

•Four external USB 2.0 ports with two additional internal headers providing eight possible USB 2.0 ports|||PCI E stands for PCI Express, and they both run at x16 bus speeds so any card that says, PCI E, PCI-e, PCI express, ect. will work in your computer.

EDIT: PCI-E 2.0 is backwards compatible with PCI-E x16|||Most video cards are PCI Express x16, so they most likely are the same.|||the latest video cards are PCI Express X16
