    A quick blurb on Tech Report revels the correct shorthand for PCI Express:

    I met with members of the PCI SIG again last week at IDF, and curiosity got the better of me. I asked again whether there was one really correct abbreviation, and the answer came definitively: PCIe is it, trademarked and all. Wouldn't you know that the dorky capitalization would win? Going forward, we'll have to shift our usage to the "correct" abbrevation, like it or not. Get ready for talk of "PCIe" around here, one more wholly unnatural use of the shift key in high tech.

    That's fine, it's easier to type that anyway. I remember most people used to use PCI-X though for some reason.
