PCI-E graphics cards need PCI-E 16 slot. They wont work on a PCI-E x1 slot.

Yea, it won't work in a normal pci slot (usually white) it needs either pci express 2.0, pci express x8, or pci express x16 (usually the only time you should have a x8 slot is for sli)

Oh ***
According to this:

The slot I have is the bottom image, standard PCI?
So the card I just bought is wrong still?
