PCI is a 32-bit or 64-bit bus?
It can be a 32-bit or 64-bit bus. At almost all cases, this bus is a 32-bit bus, even in Pentium and Pentium II systems, achieving a maximum transfer rate of 132 MB/s. Some rare motherboards use the 64-bit PCI bus, where the maximum transfer rate is of 264 MB/s if you use 64-bit PCI boards (which are very, very rare). This 64-bit PCI slot is wider than the regular 32-bit PCI slot.

Ohh i see...

But how can i recognize which motherboards use the 64-bit PCI bus? On documentions or there is symbol somewhere on the motherboard?

64-bit PCI is nearly twice as long as a 32-bit slot.

Thank you all

Just to add a bit to that, the 64 bit have 3 notches, the 32 bit have 2.
