I'm having a difficult time finding a dual GB NIC for my Asus KGPE-D16 motherboard. Here are the expansion slot specifics:
http://www.asus.com/Commercial_Servers_Workstations/KGPED16/specifications/

There are so many different combinations of Gen 1,2,3 PCI-E it has me confused. I purchased a dual GB card from the local Microcenter but it was a Gen 1 card and it did not fit the pinout of the slot. I need to find a dual GB NIC that fits the pinouts of one of the slots on this board.

Can anyone with experience with PCI-E assist?

Thanks in advance,
Josh

The card you have listed is a PCIe x4, so it can physically fit in a PCIe x4, x8, or x16 slot - if you put it in the x8 or x16 slot it will not fill the whole slot up, but it doesn't need to.
