Edit: although ageia card is PCI and does fine, so the data amount moving with PhysX stuff is low then. Anyways, don't ruin the card, mod the PCI-E 1x slot! There seems to have been a PCI-E 1x Ageia PPU too www.pcper.com/images/reviews/345/ageia01.jpg
PCI 132 MB/s
AGP 8X 2,100 MB/s
PCI Express 1x 250 [500]* MB/s
PCI Express 4x 1000 [2000]* MB/s
PCI Express 8x 2000 [4000]* MB/s
* Note - Since PCI Express is a serial based technology, data can be sent over the bus in two directions at once.
