The difference b/w an ISA slot and a PCI slot is that ISA slots are 16 bit and PCI slots are 32 bit. ISA slots are used in old computers thay are long usually black coloured but you should know that ISA slots are no longer manufactured.For more info try to search in google or sth.

I should warn against using color of the connector to determine the type of buss. I have seen and purchased these connectors in different colors in the past. There are other obvious differences in the buss connection. You cannot insert a card into the wrong buss. You should look at the characteristics of the connector to see the differences.
