PCI-express to PCI

[eri7154798]

Is it possible to use a PCI-express video card in a PCI slot? I understand that if possible, the functionality of the "express" would be limited. I've just been out of the video scene for so long I'm out of the loop now...

Nope.

pci-x is backward compatible with pci but pci-e is completely different standart.

i thought pci-x and pci-e were the same thing???? so is pci-e compatible with the pci?

 

[Rage187]

pci-e is not backwards compatible w/ pci, but pci-x is.

pci-e uses a different bus than pci/agp. not compatible.
