If you mean a standard PCI slot, then no.

However, if you are looking to install a pci e 2.0 card into a pci e 1.0 slot, then the answer is yes; with certain limitations. Basically, the pci e 1.0 will only be able to carry half the bus bandwidth. I honestly can't see how this will dramatically affect the performance of a low end card though.
