I had to laugh I have three computers and my other two machines both have PCI- express ports but on my main rig I got a cheaper mainboard and doesn't have it. I laughed so hard when I opened up my case I almost dropped it. I'll just save it for my next upgrade. I don't play games on my older rigs. (core2dou system)
I thought that would give you guys a chuckle. It made me smile.
Talking PCI-E 1x slot?
Do you have a 4/8/16x slot? Toss it in one of those.
One of those little tiny ones PCIe slots. I can toss it in a regular pci slot? Damn I'll have to give that a try if it works red dog I might have to send a you a steam treat :>

Hehe, I have a a similar problem, but it's reverse of your's.
I have an Xonar Essence ST that is the old PCI standard. It's a minimally better card than the STX, but I am afraid going forward I may not get board that is compatible with it. To make it even worse I have upgrade all the OP-amps and modded the board, so there is extra money and effort I have put into it.
As bad as Asus has gotten about drivers, I may be looking for a card with better driver support anyway.
Not PCI, PCI-E. I.E. where the graphics goes.Originally Posted by Ralithorn
I'm getting memories of early 2000s when PCI and PCI-X came out, and not too long later PCI-E to confuse (noobs).
Ha, last time I did something like that was way back with an nforce 650 motherboard, for some reason I thought it supported crossfire, I believe that you can guess the rest.....
I'll be damned I put it in my second cross-fire slot and it seems to be working Red_dog what is your steam id?

It has better jitter rejection but didn't measure as well in Stereophile's review. But that's not here nor there as both are probably effectively transparent.

I don't really think there is much for difference in them.
