I looked it up last night. According to the always reliable
Wikipedia, PCI-X brings the bus clock to 133 MHz. Still 64-bit. So
8512 megabit/sec before overhead. PCIe (PCI Express) comes in more
flavors than ice cream, but the "x1" slots are given as 250
megabyte/sec.
(Note bytes vs bits in the above. Not knowing the implementations
details, I'm presenting the figures as given.)
