Hi,
Someone here is selling a Dell PC cheap (1.7G P4) for £150, but it has PCI-X (?) slots which means normal PCI cards cannot go in???
PCI-X is faster and better apparently......
Is this true?
Apparently, PCI-X cards have two keys in the connector, so cannot put old PCI cards in as they only have 1 key.......anything I can do to put old PCI cards in?????
