Motherboards with the Pentium 4 have seven slots. The number of slots that are PCI and the number that are PCIe seem to vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
type of chipset
pci express (PCIe)
Yes, but they will not be able to achieve as high bandwidth, so performance may suffer slightly.
PCIe or USB 2.0 bus standards.
As of right now, the fastest expansion bus found in a standard PC is a PCI-E or often seen as PCIe (PCI-E or PCIe stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect Express)Installing a PCIe card into your PC may be done only if the motherboards expansion slot will fit it. PCIe cards can fit into larger slots, but not smaller slots (obviously).
Most likely for dual graphics cards.
No, these technologies are not backwards compatible according to Jean Andrews in her latest text book on computer structure.
A PCIe x16 graphics card will not work in a normal PCI slot. PCIe or PCI Express is a new standard in expansion interfaces. PCIe is physically and electronically incompatible with PCI slots.
A PCI Express, Version 1 high-end video card using PCIe x16 slots.
The two internal expansion slots in laptops that are commonly used to install wireless adapter cards are the Mini-PCIe and the PCI Express Micro. The Mini-PCIe is for devices that have requirements such as logistics, kiosks, computing, and POS terminals.
