(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128423&Tpk=Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R) It has 2 pci express 1x slots and a pci slot. I guess i don't have a choice as the XFi is pci e only http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829102019 So my question is will this wireless card fill in the second pci e slot or should i get the pci version. What performance loss will i suffer/ notice. pci e - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833127218&nm_mc=OTC-Froogle&cm_mmc=OTC-Froogle-_-Network - Wireless Adapters-_-D-Link-_-33127218 pci - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833127219&nm_mc=OTC-Froogle&cm_mmc=OTC-Froogle-_-Network - Wireless Adapters-_-D-Link-_-33127219 BTW there will be a 5970 in there along with a gt250 or 240 Upvote 0 Downvote
