You need to be a lot more specific. I presume your talking about protools on a PC
If so post your exact system specs here. Computer/OS/PT version/Exp chassis

"At the software-level, PCIe preserves compatibility with PCI; a PCIe device can be configured and used in legacy applications and operating systems which have no direct knowledge of PCIe's newer features."

So technically it will work, but it will run at PCI speed which is slower than PCIe (the e stands for express!).

It really depends on if it's worth the money or not, how much cheaper than a cross grade would it be?

I seem to remember reading in one of the recent PT updates that the software no longer supports an external chassis ? But I could we be incorrect there ...
