How do I check to see if I have a PCI-E?

Pretty much the same question as the title, is there anyway to check without opening my PC?

How old is your PC?

If you can find out your motherboard make and model from the BIOS screen or something, you should be able to figure it out.

Alternatively if the bios doesn't display your board name, run Cpuz;

Check under the mainboard tab, this will give you your motherboard's exact name, then you can cross check that with the manufacturer's site.

Or you can look at the graphical interface section under the same tab to see if your motherboard has PCI-E

2 years old, and it was the most modern machine on the market at the time. The graphics cards are the only thing that is not maxed out. (3.2GHz that can be clocked at 4.2? Hehehe, I wouldn't even dare)
