Hello all

A friend wants to buy a digital camera for her partner and be able to
transfer pictures to their PC. The PC is around 5/6 years old and doesn't
have USB ports so I thought the simple solution would be to buy a PCI USB
card. The problem is that the cards I've looked at so far require PCI 2.2
compliant slots - is it possible to buy a PCI USB card for an older PC in
the UK?

TIA

It will work perfectly fine in that computer. I've put them in old
Pentium clunkers before.
