pci express question

[Gloryfieldzi]

If I buy a pci-express card can I put it on my motherboard that only has PCI slot?

no. Pci Express card can only go in into a pci express slot. So your motherboard has to have a pci express slot which yours doesn't. There are different Pci express slots and 16X is for vidoecards, 4xs are for other small addons.

thx, but just on a side note, I've been on the forums longer than you just don't post much.
I've recently moved to rage3d since it's more concentrated with my fanATIc buddies.

Heh, Member vs. Junior Member. Whatever.

Anyway, PCI-Express and PCI are not compatible.
