My current motherboard:
https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/Z87M-G43.html#hero-specification
I currently only use one PCI-E slot for my GPU. So, that leaves my board with two 1-channel and one 16-channel PCI-E slots available. I'd like to use the below referenced Mini PCI-E wifi card:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OJPJT8Q/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ABZEITDR0OQUQ
Since I don't have any Mini PCI-E slots with 4 channels, what options do I have for using this card on my mobo? Adapters? I looked on Amazon for Mini PCI-E to PCI-E adapters but the results didn't show anything that made sense to me.
Or is my only option to downgrade to a smaller card that only uses a 1-channel PCI-E slot?
e.g.:
https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Wireless-Express-Adapter-TL-WDN4800/dp/B007GMPZ0A/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1483642124&sr=1-1&keywords=pcie+wifi+card
Thanks.
