I would like to buy a new 3d Graphics card. Most cards now appear to be PCI-e. My Motherboard still has the old style PCI slots though. So can I plug a PCI-e card into an old PCI slot?

No you cannot, but since your still in the PCi mobo, then the only graphics I would recommends is the NVidia 6200LE PCI ( Don't get the pci-e by accident...) (BestBuy) has it for a low price.. and handles GTA at a decent level from what I hear.. Hope this helps

genuinely NO!!! A PCI exhibit slot is purposely placed such that noone tried to place the PCI exhibit device into the traditional PCI slot... The PCI slots are very very nearly previous and quickly would be thoroughly replced by employing PCI exhibit as ISA slots have been replaced by employing PCI a pair of decade in the past...

They are two different technologies and they are not interchangeable. If you desire a PCI-e (meaning express) video or other card you will need to upgrade to a motherboard which has one or more of those slots on it. Be warned some very high end video cards can require 2 PCI-a slots and additional power from the power supply.

No, it isn't possible, you can plug in a PCI card in a PCI-e slot but it doesn't work like you feel. They want you spend your money buying new technologies each year (or week). Just now a new tech is being done and we'll be forced to use it soon!

no , you have to get an pci adapter card , and probably a different power supply with power hookups for pci express
