Useful for those who would like to understand both better...

From the conclusion:

"However, the more add-in cards you plan to use, and the more concurrent read/write operations that are going on, the more beneficial PCI Express components will be. Thanks to independent upstream/downstream bandwidth, and the fact that each device is allocated bandwidth for its own exclusive use, the interface of the future should be PCI Express even in the server space. Still, it is going to take many months, if not years, until PCI Express hardware has reached a level of maturity and market penetration that allows it to finally overcome the well-established presence of the parallel PCI-X bus."
