My MSI-Mainboard K8D Master 3 has 3 PCI-X slots, this is NOT "PCI Express"
They have the same form like the 32/33 PCI slots but only longer
PCI-X = 64 Bit 33/66/100/133 MHz
On my MSI I have tow white and one gree PCX-X slot, which are 64Bit and
33/66 for the white and 33/66/100/133 for the green one.
The slot for PCI Express is an other form as the PCI/PCI-X
