You cannot use a 2.0 pci express card in a pci express slot because the technology is newer.
For example:
It would be like putting a playstation 3 game into a playstation 2 console.
Only if the motherboard has a PCI slot.
There are video cards for each type of expansion slot (PCI, AGP, PCI-E, PCI-E 2.1 and even USB). It is normal to use the slot with the latest technology that your motherboard is equipped with for the video card.
The original IBM compatible parts used an 8-bit ISA slot. After that, they moved to a 16-bit ISA slot. There were other things like a VESA slot that didn't last for long. Then there were PCI slots (not express), and AGP was a faster video card slot standard. Then PCI-express replaced both PCI and AGP.

A 16 x PCI Express is better,but you may get a better deal with an AGP card.If you want the very best graphics then you use two 16x PCI express slots running SLI>
PCI Express 2.0 x16.
PCI, PCI-e, AGP
A PCI express x16 is faster than an x1. An x16 has 16 'lanes' while the x1 has only 1.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express#PCI_Express_2.0 Yes it should. The PCI Express 2.0 is backwards compatible with the PCI x16 1.0 and 1.1 slot motherboards. However, PCI-e 2.0 cards on 1.1 and 1.0 motherboards will not be able to run at their max capacity.
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
The type of expansion slot that uses "lanes" to send data serially is called PCI Express. It is much faster than the older PCI slot. PCI Express slots and devices have the ability to use a differing number of lanes, albeit at a slower rate than if both have the same number. For instance, a 1-lane device can be plugged into a 16-lane socket, or a 4 or 8-lane socket could be modified to let the unused lanes of a 16-lane card hang over the edge, and the card would likely still work. In fact, a number of 16-lane slots really are 8-lane slots as far as the way they are wired.
PCI Express 2.0 x 16 is the Fastest But PCI Express x16 is faster than AGP
