Pci Express slot question

[Magnum]

I can not tell if this will fit in a x16 PCI Express slot.

it says PCI express slot
i don't think that is the same as an "x16 PCI" slot :)

They have 3 versions of PCI EXPRESS slots. Mine is the x16.

ah - i see, now
a little searching says it should work
you have an x16 slot and what appears to be an x4 card

it would make sense that, if the board fits in the slot, it will work

don't know about the quality, but that's a good price
i think i paid $80 for the LinkSys card i have - but that was when the 802g.11 technology was fairly new
