PCI should be always safe.

I think only the reverse (newer PCI card on an older mainboard) might give problems, but it shouldn't damage anything.
The one time I saw this was with an ASUS P55T2P4 and some early PCI Radeon (7500?). The card ran fine in another SS7 mainboard.

The problem is going to be which OS are you running in the test system? A very old video card may not have a driver for the newest operating systems.

Physically - yes, all PCI versions except 3.0 are using 5V PCI slots.
The trouble is - PCI 2.3 is using the old slot but isn't compatible with the old (2.1) cards.
So - check the PCI version of your's MB first.
Asus P4P800 SE/Pentium4 3.2E/2 Gb DDR400B,
Radeon HD3850 Agp (Sapphire), Catalyst 14.4 (XpProSp3).
Voodoo2 12 MB SLI, Win2k drivers 1.02.00 (XpProSp3).

Alright, I just plugged the old S3 Trio64V2/DX on my ASUS P5KPL-AM SE LGA 775 mobo and it's working fine! But I don't do boot to windows, I have to stop to BIOS setup.
