Can i take the X550 Radeon PCI-E video card i have out of the PCI-E slot and put in a X1300 PCI card into my standard PCI slot and if i do will i get better fps, refresh , etc|||Short answer, yes you can
Long answer, You probably shouldn't Pci-e is a new standard that has more bandwidth than a normal Pci slot. You would be going backwards. If you were going to upgrade I would change to a faster pci-e card.
Here are some good choices.

I suggest you upgrade and purchase a video card that fits a PCI-E slot. The problem I have is that almost all computers are going to PCI-E, and dropping PCI. So even if you do go with the PCI card you will eventually have to upgrade anyway.|||I wouldnt recommend going with a PCI platform, because you will be dealling with really slow bus speeds. PCI-express is called such because of its very fast bus speeds. Id suggest anything from PCI-E if you can afford it. PCI-E bandwidth can be up to 16x that of PCI or AGP.|||You could take out your X550 from the PCI-e and put in an X1300 into the PCI slot but why???
The X1300 will be much slower when hampered by a PCI bus. The PCI bus is very slow compared to PCI-e (one other posted said PCI-e is 16x faster than AGP which is true, and AGP is faster than PCI.....PCI bus was slow 8 years ago for video)
Besides PCI-e video cards are cheaper than PCI video cards so why waste your money? A low end ATI X2400 would do better than an X1300 on PCI and an Nvidia 8600GT would blow away the X1300 and be about the same price.
Your call but I would stay away from PCI for sure.|||It won't fit into the slot, and it is not backwards compatible.
