Yes it will but the video card will run at PCI express 1.0 speed.
Currently no i would personally suggest you save the money or wait for Pci ex. 3.0 comes out in late 2009. If its a graphics card then the bandwidth would stay the same in the 1.0 paramiters.
PCI-X is downward compatible to PCI. If a PCI card is inserted into a PCI-X system the system will drop down to PCI level operations. It will not execute PCI-X based operations."
Yes, it will work perfectly
Yes this will work perfectly.
no. only on a pcie slot. buy a mainboard with such
yes
The slot which the video card needs to work. The slot is usually either an AGP slot (which is currently outdated), or the more recent PCI-E slot, which all new graphics cards nowadays use.
No. They are totally different on an electrical, physical, and protocol level. Attempting to insert a PCI-E card into an AGP slot, or vice versa, will likely damage both the motherboard and the card.
You may manage to insert it into the slot, but the card will not work, and both the card and the motherboard may suffer damage.
I believe so. I am researching that atm. I found that if you have an older sli mobo, and you use only one pcie video card, then the mobo might just turn off the 2nd pcie slot. But say you have onboard video and you need to use the 1 pcie slot for like a controller card, or NIC. I have a server with a pcie x16 slot. I am about to put a x1 sata controller in there. So wish me luck!
NO. If you have a pci-x slot, probably it is a server, and you want to upgrade your graphics card, you can buy a PCI card and plug it into your PCI-X slot. It should work probably.
If the video card(s) in question has/have a power slot on them (might be a 4 or 6 pin slot) they MUST have power. Reason being, the power going to the video card power key components for the video card which without, will not work at all.
Nope
Yes, However it just won't work at full speed.
it wont work with out the right one
The short answer is no. The computer you're mentioning is a laptop. The card you mention is a desktop video card. There is no expansion slot for the laptop you mention for a video card like the one you asked about.Now there *are* some laptops that do have the ability to replace and/or upgrade your video card. The Toshiba you mentioned is not one of them. It's video card is built right into the logic board itself.
