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.

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.
no, it has an AGP slot for an AGP graphics card, but a geforce 8600 is a PCIe card
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

hard drives: about 450 gb ram: 4 gb, DDR3, 1333 MHz graphics card: 400 MHz CPU: 3Ghz (desktop) 2.4ghz (laptop) PCI Express (PCIE) is the most modern port (also called a BUS) i don't know about the internet card speed
I presume that you mean to ask whether a PCIe 3.0 card can be used in a PCIe 2.0 slot on your motherboard. The answer to that question is yes. PCIe standards are all backward-compatible, so do not sweat that. For best performance, however, you would prefer to put a PCIe 3.0 card in the same type of slot.
Yes this will work, however keep in mind that PCI-e 1.0 has a data rate limit of 250MB/s , and PCI-e 2.0 has a data rate limit of 500MB/s, So using a 2.1 card in a 1.0 bus limit it's data rate, and will not utilise the card to the fullest of it's capabilities.
Unless it's a very old computer, your graphics card will be either PCIe (PCI Express) or AGP, and if it was bought within the last... Say, four and a half years, it will definitely be a PCIe setup for graphics with your other component cards running on a PCI bus. If it was a gaming computer sold post-2003ish it will also have a PCIe bus.
