PCIe slots come in a couple of iterations. A "normal" looking one for
vidio cards etc., And, the smaller aproximately 1" size for nic cards
and the like that require a smaller pinout. I also think that there is
another intermediate size but dont have any experience as to what its
use is. Here is a picture of the larger and smaller PCIe slots:-
