Conventional PCI now has four types of slots and six possible PCI card configurations to use these slots


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 is does the PCI in PCI compliance stand for?

To be PCI Compliant, you must make sure the cardholder data is correct, then take an inventory of your IT stuff. Then, identify vulnerabilities and fix them. Then, you have to fill out and submit forms to a compliance company.

Will a PCI Express graphics card work in a PCI-X slot?

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.

Will a PCI x16 graphics card work in a normal PCI slot?

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.

What video card can you put in your PC?

It depends on which ports you have. If you have PC then you can connect your video card in ISA (really old port),PCI or PCI-E ports. If you you have a laptop, you can use PCMCI port to connect a video card. You video card should have according specifications for PCI-E it should be PCI-E compatible.


Will a PCIE2.0 card work on a PCIE3.0 motherboard?

PCI-E 2.0 is reverse compatible that means a motherboard having PCI-E can support a PCI-E Video Card.
