Which is better the PCI adapter or the PCI express adapter? Trying to decide which on to get.

I used the PCI for an old computer because I had to. It's always a better choice to use the latest if your PC will accept it, and it's only like $1.00 more which is not a deal breaker in my book.Performance wise, there's probably little or no difference since the bus speed is way higher with both than the wireless signaling anyway.

Depends on a few things: number of slots you have for either PCI or PCI express, your personal appeal for the look of your internals, if you are going to need another slot for some other upgrade, and speed. My motherboard only had the PCI Express slot available, so that was my choice. The express generally grants you the higher speeds, but no guarantee if you have an older/slower router.

I used the pci Because my graphics card overlaps my 2nd PCI E Port, it works fine, great speeds compared to my old USB adapter

Check inside your case, and if both a PCI and a PCI-e x1 slots are available, get the PCI-e card and use the PCI-e slot to get maximum performance. The PCI-e is an upgrade from the older, slower PCI technology.

I think the adapter is superior in terms of consistency and reliability. I have used the dongle. It is easier to install, plug and play. The trade off is a lot of disconnects vs. the card. I have had no drops or disconnects with the card.

cant say but am using the PCI and i live in a remote area and it works okay

You need to get the one that will fit into the l slots on your motherboard. If you have both types, I'd go with the PCI-X which is a faster bus. I chose the PCI card because that's all I had in the older PC I was buying it for.

It will work just fine, I bought this card like a month ago and my mother board is PCIE 2.0, the performance is excellent! No complaints so far. The card its great you should get it.

that is pci to pcie adapter you need a pci expess to pcie adapter i apoigize for taking so long to anser but I am blinde so I don,t see emails to easy but I willo never stop Bilding power computers jerry jensen

PCI-E is typicaly best..I suggest you get the card with 3 antenaes however..having fits with the other one at the moment..

It would work. Buy PCI express 3.0 if you can afford it. I don't have 3.0 however and the card still screams.

If you want PCI Express 3.0, then shop for the Sabertooth 990FX/Gen3 R2.0: "3X PCIe 3.0/2.0 x 16 (dual x16 or x16/x8/x8)" listed in ASUS's Specifications under expansion slots

yes. Pci express 2.0 is fine. thats what mine is on. theres not a lot of boards w/ pci 3.0 anyway or they are very expensive. you'll lose nothing on a pci-E 2.0

Do you have a pci express x16 2.0, 2.1, or 3.0 and a powersuply of more then 400w with either a 6 pin connector or 2 molex connectors? If so, then yes. ------------------ Under further reaserch of the bored you(hopfully) don't yet have I have to say is EXTREAM OVER KILL. that board runs 200 ish here on amazon and you only need all the stuff it has if your trying to run a server while edditing videos/ rendering them. this is a mid-range card an the motherboard you speak of is the low of the high. sooo you would be better of with the gigabyte 270x or up or a duel set up with this card. If you don't know about what I speak (since you don't appear to know much about compatibility ) I would suggest a cheaper first rig, and also something newer. getting a good bored is important but aim for a newer one. reaserch research a d research. and more research. YouTube helps a lot. I hope this impute was helpful, good luck with the build!

it is not compatible with mentioned adapter.The slots are different for normal pci express and PCI 3.0 and PCI 2.0 express slots.

Like a charm... the EVGA+ adapters are the BEST of the USB adapters hands down... Less quirks than any other brand! I have several in the field.

I'd go with the MSI. EVGA is typically expensive for what you get and they are constantly releasing (and subsequently discontinuing) cards with slight variations. It's more marketing that substance. This MSI runs under a load 24/7 (BOINC apps) and has never even reached 50% fan speed with Afterburner.

I have not had any bottlenecking which is one of the main reasons I bought this card. I have a AM3+ board with pci express 2 because AMD has not really released any good express 3.0 boards, I heard in some reviews that there was no bottlenecking and they were right.

I see two 1x pci-e connectors, and even if they are already used up, if that extra 16x pci-e connector is vacant, it can also be used, I've done it myself. The rest is a matter of checking minimum requirements, but I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work. Happy capturing ;)

Dont worry about it, tha card comes with all the adapters you need, i even used this card with a 600W PSU that came with the connectors just as you described

Greetings,You will want to check with HP to see if they have locked out the use of generic Mini PCI-E adapters (this is quite common).Best regards,MITXPC

No, USB to express card adapters only support USB based express cards not pcie based ones

Here is the information from Hp, Hope it will answer you. Expansion Slots PCI Express x16 (Gen 3.0 for i5 and i7 Ivy Bridge processors, all others Gen 2.0): 1 PCI Express x1 (Gen 2.0): 3 PCI Express x1 mini card: 1
