FAQ:
Q: Can you plug PCIe sound card into PCI slot?
A: The blade configuration of one won’t work in the other. And no, you can’t just shove a PCIe x1 card into a PCI slot and hope it makes contact with something. You can see that even the placement of the blade is different… set closer to the face of the card in the PCI cards.
Q: Is PCI compatible with PCIe?
A: They are not same. although both PCI and PCIe are buses and functions of them are partially the same, PCIe is different from PCI. PCIe is faster and it can be used to connect devices like graphics card that PCI can’t support nowadays. In addition, PCI interface and PCIe interface are not compatible with each other.
Q: How to add more PCIe slots?
A: PCIe x1 PCIe x4 PCIe x8 PCIe x16
Q: Can a PCIe card fit into a PCI slot?
A: You can’t use a PCIe card in a PCI slot they are not wired the same and nor use the same voltages, PCIe x1 cards into other PCIe slots yes but not PCI. No! you cannot!.. The PCI Express videocard circuit is much faster than the standard AGP, and PCI express boards will not even fit in a standard pci slot or vice versa.
