Yes, technically, it should work, as long as you don't have another card in the PCIe x16 slot on that motherboard. Though the PCIe x16 is usually used for graphics cards, the standard indicates that any PCIe card is supposed to be able to work in any PCIe slot which is that size or bigger. The expansion card you show is a PCIe x1, which is supposed to work in a x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot. But, as with all standards, support by motherboard and card may vary.

usually, yes. it'll go in the black one, which is a pcie 16x port. Even though it's a pcie1x card it should work. However not all motherboards support anything but video cards in the pci 16x slots, so your mileage may vary.
Your picture of the card shows a PCI express x1 card. Your picture of the computer shows a PCI express x16 slot and two conventional PCI slots.
A PCI express x1 card will fit in a PCI express x16 slot. However from bitter experiance some systems will refuse to boot if you put a non-graphics card in the x16 slot. I'm not 100% sure what is happening but my guess would be that inserting the card disables the onboard graphics leaving the computer with no graphics and therefore unable to boot (graphics on PCs is considered core system hardware).
A PCI express card will NOT fit in a conventional PCI slot.
