Detect PCI vs. PCI-E

Question

I have remote access to a computer, and I need to find out what kind of expansion slots is has, if they are PCI, or PCI-E, or something else. How can I do this from a shell? What commands are there that would report the type and number of expansion slots?

Any help would be appreciated.

dmidecode should display the information regarding the slots on your system.

The command needs to be run as root.

You could also try lspci -vvv, but I'm not sure if it will work with a remote machine.
