The answer is yes, it will fit, it will work, and it will not cause you any issues. Enjoy!

New cards that support PCIe 2.0 are backward compatible with PCIe 1.1, thus you can install latest PCIe 2.0 cards on x16 PCIe slot of current or older motherboards. Latest PCIe 2.0 standards offer double the bandwidth of current PCIe 1.1 standards. The majority of single graphics cards are yet fast enough to fully take advantage of the wider bandwidth of PCIe 2.0. It is the multi-GPU or the multi-card set up that benefit most from PCIe 2.0. PCIe 2.0 and PCIe 1.1 use the x16 PCIe slot format but the PCIe 2.0 slot is capable of sustaining 150 watts while the PCIe 1.1 slot is only capable of 75 watts max. PCIe 3.0 is electrically compatible with previous generations but uses a different encoding scheme to increase the throughput.
means it can handle a 16x card, but will only operate at 4x which will result in lower bandwidth..
There are several different expansion slots that are compatible with video adapter cards. PCI, AGP, and PCI-Express x1 are all formats that are rarely used these days. The most popular format at the moment is PCI-Express x16.
The Compaq Presario CQ5210F has only one legacy PCI slot,but it has three PCI Express slots (1 x16 and 2 X1)
Only graphics cards are inserted into a PCIe x16 expansion 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.
You cannot plug a x16 graphics card into a x8 slot. You can however, if you wish, plug an x8 card PCIe card into an x16 slot. A p-lane PCIe card will work at some speed in an n-lane PCIe slot, where n > p. This is not true if n < p. So in this situation the card wants 16 lanes but the motherboard can only support 8 For more specific answers though, please post more detailed info such as make and model of hardware
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!

Speed. x16 would be 16 times faster. the only other difference would be the size of the slot. if its a x1 pci slot only a x1 card will fit. however if its a x16 pci slot it can fit any pci_e card. x1,x4,x8,or x16
it is a port or a connection for a graphics card. It is the second version of PCI express with a speed of x16. To use a graphics card with this, you will need a PCIe 2.0 x16 port on your motherboard. Most modern motherboards have this.
To determine if your video card is compatible with your slot, first, check the type of slot on your motherboard, typically PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) for modern cards. Then, verify the video card's connector type; it should match the motherboard slot (e.g., PCIe x16). Additionally, consult the motherboard’s specifications and the video card’s requirements to ensure compatibility in terms of size, power supply, and cooling.

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.
