They are two different slots. Pci and pci-e so no, a pci-e card will not work on a pci slot. PCI-E are better
Yes, two completly different slots. The PCI-E Will be larger than your PCI slots, and a gfx card will perform better in the PCI-E.
PCI came ou in like 1995, PCI-e came out in 2005. PCI is becoming obsolete, PCI-e is not. it's liek trying to fit a large square block into an itty bitty circle.
That's right. PCI and PCI-E are two different types of slot. Only that the PCI-E are bit larger than the PCI. Also the graphics card (moving over from AGP to PCI-E) performs much better by the frequency and speed.
actually... PCI-e is significantly smaller... I think you are switching PCI-e and PCI-e 16x. Also on PCI-e as of this moment there is a slight performance decrease over AGP 8x due to the way the system bus is configured. Within a few years though, PCI-es added bandwidth will be needed and it will dominate AGP8x. Plus you get extras like the capacity to run multiple graphics cards.
Yep. My cousin has two GPU cards connected together. He gave me the results that having two graphics card in SLI mode was extreme killer (awesome). My computer only comes with one PCI-E. But who cares. With one, that's fine with me.
performance diference between a single AGP card and it's PCI-e counter part is minimal. PCI-e is the future though so you would have to be stupid to limit your options, and to pay more to do so since AGP cards seem to cost more than their PCI-e equivilents at this time.
