pci express nic card

The Realtek Gbit NIC built into my laptop says it's PCI-E in the device manager. So apparently it's wired into one of the motherboards PCI-E lanes (i know I also have a PCI-E 16x lane for the 8600GT graphics). It performs very quickly, and is on par with my file servers Gbit NIC which is built into the motherboard (Biostar T-7025).
 
Most onboard nics are already on PCIe. Generally the onboard chip is fine unless you need the extra performance provided by a high end network chipset (the intels are excellent) or if your onboard NIC is on plain PCI - very rare, but can be a huge bottleneck if your IDE controller is also PCI.
