I believe the really cheap ECS board that has a GeForce 6150 built in
also has an x16 slot that runs at x8.  I assume that it can use
standard x16 PCI-E video cards, but I'm not certain of that.

And I think the x1 PCE-E slots are totally different, and there's not
much out there that can use them yet.
