Are you sure they aren't PCI-EXPRESS ones?
The day you'll plug a PCI EXPRESS card in a PCI slot and you'll succeed running it, please call me and tell me how you did. Until that, it's impossible, and PCI cards (not the easy-to-spot-since-there-are-loads-of-them PCI Express ones) are now rare, obsolete and pricey.
Absolutely. I do know the difference.
Is there a chance that what you think are PCI-E cards are actually PCI cards? You'll have a hell of a time trying to fit a PCI card into your PCI-E slot. If you do manage it then give me a call and tell me how you did it otherwise it's impossible you know.
PCI cards are still everywhere here and are extremely cheap, unlike the more expensive PCI-E cards. Places like Walmart love them because almost everyone has a spare PCI slot in their PC and most of their customers probably don't know the difference between PCI, AGA and PCI-Express (although they do sell all of them online).
