Is the 64-bit PCI expansion slot a common feature now on motherboard?
If the adapter specification I'm planning to get is PCI, would I need to be concerned about the expansion slot on my PC? Since this is commonly just 32bit (or am I confusing this with the 64bit processor - since some adapters don't have drivers for 64bit?)
What is the difference between PCI, PCI-X and PCI Express or PCIe?
Is the PCI-X and PCIe found now on motherboards?
Are the 3 compatible (can insert and use any PCI adapter on the same slot?)

No 64 bit PCI expansion cards are not common on motherboards. They can be found on some server motherboards.
The typical PCI bus is 32 bit.
PCI bus is 32 bit and operates at 33.3 Mhz and PCI-X is also 32 bit but operates at 133 Mhz.
PCI Express is the same as PCIe and is a serial version of PCI that uses x (number 1 through 16) to denote the number of "lanes" in the bus.
Yes PCI Express bus is found on newer motherboards. No PCI-X is not found on newer motherboards.
PCI-X and PCI are compatible (not completely) but PCI Express is not compatible with the other two.
