Yes, a single-lane PCI-E (x1) card can be inserted into a multi-lane slot (PCI-E x4, PCI-E x8, etc.), but may not fit into a smaller PCI-E slot (e.g. a PCI-E x16 card in a x8 slot). However, some motherboards have PCI-E slots that use open-ended sockets to permit physically longer PCI-E cards to work. An example is an x1 slot that allows for all x1, x2, x4 , x8 or x16 cards, even though it would run at only x1 speed. | Yes, a single-lane PCI-E (x1) card can be inserted into a multi-lane slot (PCI-E x4, PCI-E x8, etc.), but may not fit into a smaller PCI-E slot (e.g. a PCI-E x16 card in a x8 slot).
