Speaking as a user, I do want to distinguish them: PCIe fits into a physically different slot from PCI, so having only PCIe slots free, I really did want to select by socket type. Similarly someone with a PCI only motherboard would be looking for PCI and not PCIe. -- Jón Fairbairn Jon.Fairbairn@cl.cam.ac.uk
