PCI-X bad. PCI-Xtreme GOOD.
PCI-X is only around to provide backwards compatability with regular PCI stuff.

PCI-X (or PCI-e as some people call it) may be interesting, but will probably just mean spending oodles of cash for no good reason.

PCI Extreme - See above regarding mainboard design, and the speed boost can't hurt either. I don't particularly care about the speed increase yet, but it'll undoubtedly be important if/when AGP falls by the wayside.

PCI-E might not provide that many direct benefits for GPUs, but it will allow you to install multiple cards more easily. Right now if you want to do that you're pretty much limited to one modern card and one fairly outdated card. Two monitors is enough for most people, but three or more are sometimes useful.
