Alright, so i have these 2 wireless adapters. the DLink N150 PCI and the ASUS PCIE adpater.. my DLink has been broken(dunno how but it doesnt work anymore) But my problem is my graphics card the old but still great AMD Raedon 6670HD, takes up the PCIE slot for my ASUS card.... see my problem.. ive ordered a PCI extender for my graphics card (knowing they aren't amazing) and in about 15 days ill give it a shot. but for now my question is... Can my PCIE card work in my PCI slot? or should i go out and buy a new $30 card? ive read the manual and found nothing about this... if you guys can help ill be greatly in your debt. thank you in advance.

PCIe cards won't fit in a PCI slot. They aren't compatible. You can wait for the PCIe extender ribbon cable though you should really just get a USB wireless adapter. They aren't that bad compared to the add-in cards and you can buy USB extension cables to move the USB wireless adapter away from the case as the case does absorb some of the signal which is an issue.
