The PCI bus can be used for a wide variety of devices, so obviously not all PCI cards look exactly the same. Due to technical limitations, an image of a PCI card cannot be displayed in the answer, but example images are linked to below.
Its not mini PCI, its just PCI, they just look mini compared to a PCI-E. It depends on which PCI slot it is, there are tons of different cards that are for PCI. Sound, wireless, modem. Look at the spec's for the motherboard to see what slots you have, then you know what cards you can use.
PCI is used for many things like extra subport for your computer like if you have a PCI express card for Graphics, your computer will be able to use it and have better graphics for gaming or but there so many things you can put into a PCI slot but there are different sizes of PCI slot and they are: PCI X1 PCI X16 PCI Express which is all used for about everything if you have those you can make your computer awesome
Yes, by using converters to PCI from other slots like PCI-E or AGP.
You will have to open your computer and look inside your case. In 95% of motherboards, PCI slots will be white.
they may look similar but they are completely differ. the PCI-E has a higher bus speed than the PCI bus speed. since 2004 more devices are using PCI-E expansion.
If you look at your manual, you will see there are no ISA slots on this board. 2- pci-e 16x 2- pci-e x1 1- pci
PCI, PCI-e, AGP
PCI, PCI-X, PCIe, and mini PCI.
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.
No the x16 is the slots designation, like pci-e x1 or x4 these slots are much smaller and are for different pheripals, like network cards or sound cards.
True PCI Express is about the same design but uses the address more quickly it is alot faster. It is Diffrent that PCIe witch Stands for PCI express as well just not true. Easier explaination is: PCI is V1 PCI Express or PCIe is V2 True PCI Express or True PCIe is like V2.5 Its just PICe but working therodicly correctly
No, PCI Cards will not fit on PCI-E slots
