Two types of adapter cards that will fit in a PCI slot are network interface cards (NICs) and sound cards. Network interface cards are used to connect a computer to a network, while sound cards enhance audio processing capabilities. Both types of cards can be installed in standard PCI slots on a motherboard, providing additional functionality to the system.
The slot that does not typically support a display adapter is the PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) slot. While PCI slots can be used for various expansion cards, they are generally outdated for graphics purposes. Modern display adapters primarily utilize PCI Express (PCIe) slots, which provide higher bandwidth and better performance for graphics cards.
The expansion slot is the socket on the motherboard that can hold an adapter card. There are different types of expansion slots (pci, pcie, pciex16) so you need to check that the expansion is the same kind as the adapter card.
That depends on which PCI slot Standard PCI slots are used by sound cards, network adapters, USB expansion cards and some video cards Some sound cards, network adapters and Wi-Fi cards use PCI Express x1 PCI Express x16 is strictly for video
No, PCI Cards will not fit on PCI-E slots
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.
In fact there are a huge variety of PCI Express video cards. If you plan on looking at some or even buying them, go to tigerdirect.com, click on PC Parts at the top, scroll down and click on PCI Express for video cards. I'm am most sure that this will be very helpful.
Only if the motherboard has a PCI slot.

PCI Express (PCI-E)
Your display adapter is what converts output from your computer to a visable display and sends it to your monitor/TV. Where you plug your monitor into the rear of your computer is your display adapter. Some display adapters are hard soldered to the motherboard, called "on-board adapter." Most, however, are removable expansion cards that reside in your PCI, PCI-E, or AGP slot, for easy replacement or upgrade.
Standard PCI
sounds cards, tv tuners, and older graphics cards use PCI slots
