I want to upgrade to a PCIe video card. However my board has PCI slots. Do I need to get a new board? Should I bother. Since I have a 2.8mhz right now going to a new board might not be a bad thing... Any help or advice would be great.|||No, pci-e is newer and faster.|||what?
YOur MB may have PCI slots, but not PCI e 16x slots. IT may have AGP. THe difference between th estandart PCI and 16x i sthat 16x is used for GFX's and is faster|||The following link should adequately answer your questions regarding PCI vis-a-vis PCI Express -

A PCLe card is incompatible with a PCI slot.
Does your existing box fulfill your computing needs -- if the answer is yes then don't waste your hard earned dough.A faster PCLe card is a necessity if you are a hardcore gamer & you like all the eye candy.
Stave off fresh purchases until the hardware market settles down a bit -- with new chips & chipsets due to hit the market future-proofing your investment becomes absolutely necessary.Remember Vista will have a tough minimum hardware requirement -- so plan carefully.
Hope this helps.|||no because pcie is faster and i think the pcie cards are smaller|||The current PCI standard allows for a 32-bit bus that has a maximum throughput of 133MB/s. This133MB/s of bandwidth must be shared between all of the PCI peripherals. Graphics quickly outstripped all of the other components in the system. To alleviate this, the AGP interface was developed to give a dedicated channel to the graphics. But now gigabit Ethernet interfaces and UltraATA/133 and SerialATA devices are quickly catching up to this 133MB/s limit.
This is where the PCI Express system is designed to alleviate problems. In its current proposed first revision, the system has the capability of allowing a single interface adapter to receive as much as 16GB/s of data bandwidth. This is achieved through the movement away from the old parallel models to the higher speed serial interconnects. Future revisions expect to have even higher bandwidth

Can i connect a PCI Express x16 video card to a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot on my Motherboard?
i have a slot in my motherboard named PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot. but i bought a video card with PCI Express x16. can i attach this card to PCI express 2.0 x16 slot?......or i need any other slots?(i dont have any slots that named "PCI Express x16 slot").|||PCIe 1.0/1.1 and PCIe 2.0 use the same x16 PCIe SLOT. It is just that PCIe 2.0 slot has higher bandwidth (2x) and higher wattage rating (2x) than PCIe 1.0/1.1. All PCIe graphics cards will work on all those slots.
It is just the high-end, multi-GPU cards that get bottlenecked by PCIe 1.0/1.1 slots that's why there's the need for the high bandwidth of PCIe 2.0.|||Yes, you can. The "2.0" is just the version.

Will any PCI video card work in a PCI express slot?
If not, what kinds of video cards will work in a PCI express slot?|||No, absolutely not, it MUST be a PCIe, PCI express card.
It is pretty hard to find straight PCI video cards these days, so your two choices will be AGP (Wrong one) and PCIe, (Right one)
Good Luck|||PCI video card is different to PCI express, When you buy a video card find the word PCI Express in the package!|||Only PCI-E video cards will work in a PCI-E slot. I think their also, but if you have a 16x video card make sure you have a 16x PCI-E slot. Another misconception is that PCI X is the same as PCI-E but PCI X is for servers.|||yes, i guess|||Just because it sounds the same does not mean a thing. check websites for the card you have and then check your pc website for compatibility. Here they will show you the right upgrades made for youe pc.|||Even though they sound alike, and indeed, the slots may even LOOK a little alike, rest assured that they are COMPLETELY incompatible.
While they share a similar array of "pins" in the center, it's the way they USE them that's different.
To put it in short, PCI is a "parallel" interface, meaning that it uses ALL of the pins for each signal pulse; using them, it can transfer up to 32 bits at a time. Given that PCI operates at 33MHz, that yields a potential maximum transfer rate of 133 MB a second.
PCI-e, in spite of the name, is a "serial" interface, meaning that it uses multiple independent channels; (called "lanes" here) for a PCI-e graphics card, there are 16 of them: hence, that "PCI-e x16" or "PCI-e x1" names you might've seen listed the numberl of lanes that slot had. Each lane can only transfer one single BIT at once, but they can then run at absurdly high speeds; I believe it's 2,500 MHz (2.5GHz) for PCI-e. Because some "overhead" (error correction, etc.) are figured in, it works out to an effective 2,000 MHz, for 250MB a second PER LANE, or a total of about 4GB per second for a PCI-e x16 graphics card.
As you would now realize,it's technically impossible to get one to work with the other.

Are there any pci video cards that have the same level of graghics as the present pci-express video cards?
I just bought a new game. Whenever i try to play, an error message appears that says "Failed to detect supported video card." So now I am trying to buy a new video card, but l only have pci add-on slots. Would a pci video card do the trick, or do I need to get a new computer with a pci-express slot?|||The PCI slot is not fast enough to run newer video cards.
U would be best advised to upgrade your mainboard to one with a PCI-e slot. U can find mainboard and CPU combos at decent prices from places like http://www.tigerdirect.ca and http://www.newegg.ca|||How about you shut the f* uck up and suck my f* ucking cock.

Could mu computer's PCI-E slot be causing video cards to fry?
So in the pass 2 months I've had 2 cards. 8800GT nvidia and ATI radeon 5670HD DDR5 2.5gig. My 8800GT ran like 2 times and it does a green tear in the screen on startup and never worked again , So i saved up and got this new 5670 ATI radeon last night. It worked good , But it did the SAME EXACT green tear in the SAME place on the screen on startup and now it's not working. Could my PCI-E slot be causing this? Or just odd ods that the cards where both bad?|||One thing is for sure, I sure wouldn't put any other cards into that system. Could be the motherboard or the PSU...
Built in Video Graphics Card, can I still add another in the pci slot?
I have a Dell Dimension 2400 with a built in video card. Watching video's can be annoying because they move slow, or freeze all the time. There's a few empty PCI slot's. Can I add a Video Graphics Card still?|||Video cards (usually called graphic cards or graphic adapters) are for games.
For movies, you need a faster CPU.|||Yes you can.

I have to open PCI slots. Would putting in two video cards be better than one?
I have a Dell Dimension 2400, and I wanted to put in a new graphics card. However, I found out that I didn't have a PCI Express 16 slot. But I also I found two open regular PCI slots. Would putting in two PCI video cards improve my gaming performance by a lot?|||No, you would be better off buying ONE more expensive one with more memory.#|||Yes, if there are still SLI (by Nvidia) cable cards for PCI. SLI is where you buy two of the same card and get a connector so they run together|||Standard PCI slots can only run a single card setup and are not capable of running dual cards like on SLI/Crossfire.
@Ryan: He pointed out that he had PCI slots which are not the same as PCI-e. You should do some research on computer hardware before making statements that are false.|||Sli or crossfire are great mods for computers. they both give more speed. you should get the cards with physis on them already so u dont have to spend more money something u can get on the card. nvidia offers physis.
