Something like that :)
Per Wikipedia:
Conventional PCI and PCI-X are sometimes called Parallel PCI
in order to distinguish them technologically from their more
recent successor PCI Express, which adopted a serial,
lane-based architecture.
The PCI-SIG introduced the serial PCI Express in c. 2004. At
the same time, they renamed PCI as Conventional PCI.
PCI Express does not have physical interrupt lines at all.
It uses message-signaled interrupts exclusively.
What about PCI_CONVENTIONAL then?
