Theoretically you can use any slot, but practically use ports starting from 1st.

Is PCI a 32-bit expansion slot?
PCI is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
Can you install a 32 bit pci card into a larger 64 bit pci slot?
Nope - the two systems are not compatible.
What are the different kinds of PCI express?
In fact there are a huge variety of PCI Express video cards. If you plan on looking at some or even buying them, go to tigerdirect.com, click on PC Parts at the top, scroll down and click on PCI Express for video cards. I'm am most sure that this will be very helpful.
Can a 256mb 128 bit PCI video card work in a 32 bit slot?
Nope
How many pins does a PCI slot have?
A 32-bit PCI slot has 62 pins. A 64-bit PCI slot has 94 pins.
Which adapter card slot has a 32-bit wide data path or bus?
Standard PCI
How do you tell if your motherboard has a pci express slot?
when looking at a Motherboard the slots are usually as follows: 4-8 inch cream coloured slot is usually a 32 or 64 bit PCI slot Long 8 inch Blank slot is a ISA slot (not many around these days) A Short 2-3 inch black slot is usually a PCI Express slot (usually PC less than 2 years old will have these)
How many pins does a PCI express slot has?
32 Pins on a 4x connector.
What is 32-bit pci slot?
PCI slot and 32-bit is 2 deffrent things PCI slot is able to have more extra stuff in ur computer like Graphics card to emprove gamming exp and 32-bit is ur computer Operating System like Windows 7 there r 2 deffrent windows 7, 32 and 64 bit for example the 32 bit is limited on RAM now days if u have more then 3GB RAM u wont be able to run no more then 3GB.... 64-bit is better and faster able to run more up to date Hardware like havin 16GB or more RAM or what ever u please to have in ur computer
The CardBus technology uses -bit PCI for the interface standard?
32-bit
Can a PCI-X card be plugged into a PCI slot not the other way around as I have only a PCI card slot?
Can it? Sometimes, in PCI 3.3V slots(PCI rev. 2.2 or newer).But should it? No, a PCI-X card should be not be inserted into PCI slot.Putting a faster card(e.g., PCI-X, 64-bit/133MHz) into a slower slot(PCI 2.2, 32-bit/33MHz) will force the card to transfer data much slower than what it is capable of doing.IOW, even if PCI-X cards sometimes work in PCI Revision 2.2 or newer slots it is pointless to do that since it defeats the purpose of having a PCI-X card, namely wider bandwidth. PCI-X(133MHz) cards are capable of approx 1.0GB/s transfers while PCI (32-bit/33MHz) can only handle approximately 0.1GB/s, theoretically. In reality both do somewhat less ... but putting a 1.0GB/s card into a 0.1GB/s slot is wasting perfectly good bandwidth(and the money spent to get it!).If you only have PCI(32-bit) slots, then buy only PCI(32-bit) cards.All PCI cards that adhere to PCI revision 2.2 or newer specifications can be used in PCI-X slots. ( Note that most cards are now manufactured to meet PCI 2.2 or 2.3 specifications. )However the transfer rate/speed will not necessarily increase because the card is in a slot capable of faster transfers.PCI slots that are older, prior to PCI rev. 2.2, should physically block the insertion of a normal PCI-X card into the slot.PCI cards that are older, prior to PCI rev. 2.2, should be physically blocked from being inserted into PCI-X slots.Both of the latter of course depend upon the manufacturer of the expansion card following the PCI specifications. Unfortunately not all manufacturers do that(so be careful!).As always there are various additions and exceptions but confusion is the general rule when they are considered so let's leave it as:Long card in short slot: no, it wastes bandwidth and money.Short card in long slot: ok, if it inserts without undo insertion force(but it also wates available bandwidth).
What expansion slot found in desktop computers that carries 32-bits of data and runs at 33MHz?
PCI
