I heard PCIe has separate path per point, does that mean more total
bandwidth available? Right now, doing things like transferring data
from disk to gigabit ethernet suffers because the data has to cross
the same shared PCI bus at least twice, would PCIe improve that?


Yeah, it's a point-to-point bus rather than shared, as far as I have heard.

Yup, it's point-to-point. Be damned tough to daisy-chain 2.5ghz links...
