I find the plethora of PCI buses frustratingly confusing.  But the image 
of the card at 
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=854467&CatId=319# 
and the others have very different buses from the one on my motherboard.

I expect that the "older" PCI slot is a PCI x 16.  But I am just going 
by the picture.  The card's connector is in four sections.  The PCI bus 
in my machine is in two.

One of my frustrations with PCI is manufacturers are not precise about 
*which* PCI slot they mean.
