HI. I bought a PCI-E 1x WIFI card, and it worked until i upgraded my motherboard. I forgot that my graphics card took up 2 pci slots, 1 being PCI-E 16 and the other is PCI-E 1 (the smallest pci slot) and the only pci slot left, is PCI, not PCI-E. it look like the PCI-E 16 slot, but without the clip/lock and it is the other way round, if you don't understand, my motherboard is a
Gigabyte F2A68HM-HD2 Motherboard (Socket FM2+, A68H, DDR3, Micro ATX, PCI Express 3.0)
If you look at the 3 PCI ports, there is the top port for GPU, the one below can't be used as the gpu blocks it and the slot at the bottom.
if anyone knows a WIFI card for less than £20, or about $25 then please reply :)

Looking at the picture of the motherboard, the free slot is a PCI slot. The card I linked is a PCI card rather than PCIe. It should be OK. Notice that the plastic key in the PCI slot is on the opposite end of the slot from the PCIe graphics card slot.

So the gaps between the chip part, going into the motherboard; it doesn't matter if the same is on the motherboard?
(if that makes sense)
(basically the gpu slot, has 1 gap in it, and whether the chip has 2 and the board has only 1, you can still put it in?)
