They do in general, however there are some caveats. PCI (32bit) cards come in three form-factors 5v (notch in back), 3.3v (notch in front) and universal (two notches.) PCI-X (64bit) cards can also come in these three flavors, I think. The problem is that the slots on your motherboard could be either: (32bit and 5v) or (32bit and 3.3v) or (64bit and 5v) or (64bit and 3.3v) If you can make sure that the PCI card you want comes in a universal 5/3.3v form, it should work in any of those slots.
