Will this PCI video card, http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTool... work in a standard PCI slot? I was looking at the video card and the PCI slot does not look the same as the video card connectors.

Hey BB...
I concur with Himself250. Look at the gallery on the Tigerdirect link. The box says "PCI Works on all PCs".
This is a standard PCI port adapter. It will work with your machine and almost every PC that has been made since 1994 that typically has anywhere from 1 - 5 PCI slots available.
You made mention about the video card connectors* (note plural) if you have two top identical ports inside your PC, it is likely you have PCIe ports as well. Tigerdirect also sells many graphics boards that will fit those as well. You can have video in PCI, PCIe and possibly AGP flavors (not likely you have an AGP port from the sound of it). PCIe at this time has the fastest bus speed. You can install one or even two identical PCIe cards to take advantage of the technology...
Or you can keep things simple and just install this original card.
Hope this helps..
PCI and PCI show are thoroughly distinctive and have relatively no longer something to do with one yet another, inspite of the similarity in call. you could no longer use PCI show taking part in cards in PCI slots, and you could no longer use PCI taking part in cards in PCI show slots. they are completely incompatible, and the taking part in cards won't even slot interior the slots. PCI is an exceedingly previous bus familiar progressed decrease back interior the early '90s, with a circulate velocity of in basic terms 33mHz. That became decrease back interior the days whilst CPUs like the 486 slightly broke 100mHz. PCI show is lots extra moderen, with a circulate velocity of a minimum of a million.5gHz (PCIe a million.0 spec). lots speedier, extra constructive for use with right now's quickly structures. in the adventure that your computing device would not have PCI show, you ought to evaluate upgrading to a sparkling gadget.
Yes, any other type of PCI (pcie etc.) is always specified.
1. The category that you searched for the card in is PCI, There is a differen't category for PCIE, and AGP cards.
2. I don't recommend you throw it in any PCI slot. I've always tried to put it in the first slot. the reson behind this is IRQ addressing. Most computers will assign a higher IRQ to the top slot.
It looks like an AGP card to me.
If you have an AGP slot on your motherboard, it will work OK in that but it wont fit a PCI slot for sure.
I believe that is a PCI card...so yes, it will work with your system. Almost ALL computers have PCI slots so just find an open one and throw it in there! good luck!
I'm 99.999999999999999999999999999% sure that it is a PCIe card and NOT a PCI card.
No, that will not work.
yeah it goes into a regular pci slot
