What is PCI-X?

    I'm looking into buying a Decklink HD capture card for capturing and editing HD footage.
    One of the requirements is a "64 bit PCI-X slots 100MHz and 133MHz."
    First I thought they meant PCI-Express. But then I noticed- one of the graphics card requirements is PCI E x 16!

    So what is PCI-X? Is this just the standard PCI slot? 64 bit though? I'm very confused.

    I have an ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe mobo.

    Thanks in advance!
