Why does a video card work only in certain pci slots?

ANSWERS: 1

Official Know-It-All

A video card only works in certain PCI slots because there are two different types of PCI cards in addition to AGP video cards. PCI slots/cards were developed first, and are much slower than newer PCIE or PCI Express slots. Since each type of PCI slot has a different shape and standard of data transfer, a PCI video card will not fit into a PCI Express slot and vice-versa.
