PCI/PCI Express compatibility?
Does anyone know if Scope cards can run in PCI Express slots? My PC just died and I have three Scope cards. Most new computers don't seem to have that many PCI slots, but rather more PCI Express.
Re: PCI/PCI Express compatibility?
no, the cards won't work in pci-e slots.
building a new computer is easy and there are many motherboards with 3 pci slots. i recommend the intel dp35dp....

How bad? Funny that's the one SonicCore recommended. (Asus)
Re: PCI/PCI Express compatibility?
Asus has always been good in the past, but lately....
look, Sonic/Core is a small company with a very few employees. they can't test all these things.
almost ALL motherboards will work, if they work properly. there are differences in design, however, that make some work better than others and that allow some to be setup easier than others. Via chipsets have always been notoriously bad and yet my first Scope computer some 7 or more years ago(?), an asus slotA motherboard with a via chipset worked fine, just not nearly as well as the intel board i got later...
