The label calls this a PCI card, is this PCI or PCI-E? There's a big difference.

It's PCI, not PCI-e. It makes a big difference if you only have PCI-e slots, but I do not believe it matters for performance. I use it in a demanding application and it works very well. Also, if you go to the HT Omega website, I believe they sell a PCI-e audio card: http://www.htomega.com/eclaro.html

I believe it is a PCI card. Bought it a while back and returned it because my motherboard only had PCI-E slots. Hope this helps.

Hi I would assume that the card would operate at pci-e 2 performance with the head room of pci-e 3 if you updated the motherboard at any stage, bit like ram.. it does the same thing when fitted to a board that can operate it at a curtain frequency ..

No. Regular PCI or PCI-X(mainly server mainboards have this) only. PCI-X and PCI Express are different. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI-X

Ask the seller a question and make sure he/she understands that you want a PCIE one. It was my first time diagnosing my computer, and it was fairly simple.

The correct answer is either one....yes, it is a PCI-E X1 card, but it will work in a PCI-E X16 slot (including X8, X4, and of course X1).

Unfortunately, this processor doesn't support PCI-E 3.0. However, you shouldn't be worried because there isn't a big difference in performance between PCI-E 2.0 and PCI-E 3.0. I hope this helps.

Yes, PCI-E 2.0 is backward compatible to PCI-E 1.0; however, you will not get full performance from it. With the price point on this the way it is, you reduction in performance is probably not a big deal. I would caution against using modern video cards with older power supplies. Generally, for modern graphics cards a 500W p/s is a minimum starting point--I would not go under 400W.

It is PCI-E.....ram is dependent on operating system 32 bit allows 4 gb of ram....64 bit allows 32gb ram

I'm not sure to what you are referring. Do you mean the part of the card that plugs into the PCI socket?

YesYes, the PCI-E bus is a standard - the x1 to x16 indicates the number of lanes supported by the slot. You can get some good details from wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express To summarize for you - as long as the slot has more lanes than the card you want to install in it, it'll work. So, you can put a x1, x4, x8 or x16 card into a x16 slot. The reverse it NOT true - you cannot put an x8 card into a x1 slot, for example. Good luck!

All I know is it is a PCIe card. So if you have a PCIe slot I'm pretty sure it is.

The other card is only a addition to the main card it only needs to be mounted to the case no PCI-e port on the secondary card it's connected to the primary by a cable which is sent with the cards

It has one PCI-E pin on the card(6+2). I have this card, 16gb of DDR3 memory, and an amd fx 8250 and it's all running on a 650w power supply. Everything functions properly.

Yes. All PCI-E are backwards compatible with each other. They will run at the speed of the motherboard (PCI-E 1x motherboard runs 3.0 video card as the 1.0 speed).

I read on wikipedia that PCI-E 1.0 and 2.0 were backwards compatable. Only in "very rare cases" would they not work together. I, like you, am planning on getting this as an upgrade from the 8600 GTS.

when you open the computer case and see the PCI-E slots, it will make sense. This is a very easy product to install. Make sure you remove the back part of the case to allow the antennae to stick out.
