PCI in PCIEx4

marcokleinrossi · Sep 24, 2013

Will my PCI wireless network adapter be backward compatible with a PCIEx4 slot?

Conventional PCI is not compatible with PCI Express (of any kind).

PCI and PCIe aren't cross compatible in any way.

are there any adapters that exist?

any adapter would no doubt cost more than a new wireless card.

Not to mention adapters do not allow the card to bolt to the case properly unless it is low profile.
