No.... PCI-x is a different technology. Only n00bs refer to pci-x as pci-e x16.

Simply not true! PCIe (aka PCI-E) isn't the same as PCI-X. ;)

pci-x.. is server specific.

Short for PCI extended, an enhanced PCI bus. PCI-X is backward-compatible with existing PCI cards. It improves upon the speed of PCI from 133 MBps to as much as 1 GBps.

PCI-X was designed jointly by IBM, HP and Compaq to increase performance of high bandwidth devices, such as Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel, and processors that are part of a cluster. "

"PCI Express, or PCIe, (formerly known as 3GIO for 3rd Generation I/O, not to be mistaken for PCI-X) is an implementation of the PCI computer bus that uses existing PCI programming concepts, but bases it on a completely different and much faster serial physical-layer communications protocol. The physical-layer consists not of a bus, but of a network of serial interconnects (because syncronization of parallel connections is hindered by timing skew) much like twisted pair ethernet. A single hub with a lot of pins on the mainboard is used, allowing all kinds of switching and parallelism."
