While shopping for a new desktop computer, I found that most come with PCI 
Express slots which are different than PCI slots. Some
computers may have a combination of PCI and PCI Express. But the newer ones I 
looked at only had PCI Express slots.

Maybe PCI slots are being phased out.

Are PCI slots still the norm on new PCs?  I thought they were basically phased 
out.
