MY PC has a PCI E x16, PCI E x1 and a PCI slot. What's the blasted
difference and what are each meant for?

Are graphic cards only PCI E x16 or other types are also available?
 
Graphics cards are available in all flavours - interfaces eg PCI, PCIE**,
AGP
The latest graphic cards are 'usually' PCI E**
The PCI slot is 'usually' used by add on cards eg Modem/Lan cards
 
Your pci-16 slot is for the new family of pci-e graphics cards and our pci
slots are for your sound cards and Network cards, etc. PCI-E x1 I`m not sure
about but I think it`s for a second pci graphics card in crossfire format.
