PCI Express will offer the following design advantages over the PCI and AGP

interface:

-Compatible with existing PCI drivers and software and Operating Systems.

-High Bandwidth per Pin. Low overhead. Low latency.

-PCI Express supports a raw bit-rate of 2.5 Gb/s on the data pins. This

results in a real bandwidth per pair of 250 MB/s.

-A point to point connection, allows each device to have a dedicated connec-

tion without sharing bandwidth.

-Ability to comprehend different data structure.

-Low power consumption and power management features.
