My new mainboard has 2 or 3 PCI-Extreme slots.. They look like PCI slots that have been shrunk in the washing machine O_o I read in the manual that they provide a better quality signal and can be used for sound cards and other stuff. I've not seen any cards advertised that are meant for this slot type yet though.
Does anyone have any information? Do regular PCI Cards fit in these slots or something?
They did not mean PCI Express. I have one PCI Extreme slot on my motherboard, its the same shape as a PCI slot but I think it allows for faster and clearer data transfer somehow. The PCI-Express x1 slots are the tiny ones.
Dude, I know what I'm talking about. There is 1 x PCI-Express x16 Slot, 2x PCI Slots, 1 x PCI-Extreme Slot (same shape as PCI), and 2 x PCI-Express x1 slots. The PCI-Express 1 slots are the little tiny ones.
Apparently it does exist and is used for audio and video cards. Strange, though, that Google didn't turn up anything more. Whatever the slots truely are, they are rare.
Oh, and timm, my statements were not made to offend you or to insult your integrity, just to try and clear this up. I thought you may have been mistaken. :)
Sorry. The slot looks useful, maybe it reduces \"noise\" when you have your line out amplified or you want a clearer signal for active line-in, such as a guitar? Anyways, thats the slot I'll put my sound card in when it arrives.. 6 Channel Onboard sucks, because you can't use 6 channel speakers if you want to use a microphone or line in :/. The board has 3 ports which are configurable via bundled software. Sucks :(
