Can I install a PCI video card in a PCI Express slot ready comp.

I recently bought a computer that has ATI Radeon 200 built in. It also has a PCI Express slot for future upgrading. My friend gave me the ATI Radeon PCI 9200 SE 128 MB video card. I was planning on installing it in one of the PCI slots but was wondering if there would be a problem since the PCI Express slot is in there for the upgrading?

You shouldn't have a problem. The video card should be recognized.

The builtin Radeon 200 video should perform better than any standard PCI video card.
