I don't know if these slots are in every motherboard,I doubt they are, but on my motherboard there are some kinda long black slots near my pci slots. What are hey for? Are they pci express slots? (god I wish).

Btw, I know it's not an agp slot. I know where my agp slot is.

karz is right, they would be ISA slots. This was pre pci slots and run about half speed so they are very slow, and hard to find parts for. I wouldn't recommend use on anything faster than a dial up modem.

If it is an old motherboard (7 yrs or more) and the long slots are near the edge of the board, they are usually ISA slots.

NO, most likely not PCI-Epress slots....
How old is your computer. Because i think those are ISA slots. Those ARE obsolete, and were used mostly in the MS-DOS to windows 98 time period, less people used it in windows 98 and windows 2000, XP, Vista still support ISA and have drivers for them , but not many people still use ISA.

Those are probably dual slots... they will fit both PCI and EISA cards.
