Here, take a look:



You can see that the PCIex16 slot is somewhat larger than the PCIs at the bottom and has more pins. Usually has that clamp on the side for the video card. Unless you have a high-end motherboard with something like SLI, you also would normally only have one PCIe slot vs. several PCIs.

You also should normally have at least one PCIe slot, although some budget computers may come with onboard video only.
