A link is a point-to-point communication channel between two PCIe ports, allowing both to send/receive ordinary PCI-requests (configuration read/write, I/O read/write, memory read/write) and interrupts (INTx, MSI, MSI-X). PCIe devices communicate via a logical connection called an interconnect or link. This allows cards to be fitted only into slots with a voltage they support. 'Universal cards' accepting either voltage have both key notches. Cards requiring 3.3 volts have a notch 56.21 mm from the card backplate those requiring 5 volts have a notch 104.47 mm from the backplate. – Tonny Aug 22 '13 at 18:39 add a comment | 6 It will not Typical PCI cards have either one or two key notches, depending on their signaling voltage. (And the case has a corresponsding slot for the slot-plate of the PCI card.) The mounting holes should match up with the spacers on the backplate of the case where a full-size motherboard would have an extra row of holes. The bottom one is typically used with a small formfactor motherboard in a big case so there is space next to the motherboard for the extra PCI slot.

They do make pci to pcie adapters and I think you can put them in an x16 slot.You'd have to get creative with some case modding but if it's a full height pci card you'd need something like this: share|improve this answer answered Aug 22 '13 at 11:17 LawrenceCLawrenceC 60.1k11105182 2 The top picture is a card designed to fit a half-height PCI card into a PcE slot.

It's still a product with an unproven market, restricted by the cost of Thunderbolt, but it shows promise and will hopefully take off with a manufacturer as big as MSI behind it.Ask Question 4 1 I have a will a PCI Universal card but not slot. MSI were demoing the GUS II with a 5770, and obviously target CES 2012 because of the nearing release of Ivy Bridge which promises Thunderbolt on certain Ultrabooks. That's enough for a standard GFX card with one 6-pin connector. The device is essentially an external enclosure for a dual-slot PCI-Express card, combined with a power supply capable of delivering 150W to the card.
MSI have taken up the challenge and developed a product they're calling GUS II.

With Intel's development of Thunderbolt - essentially a means of transmitting PCI Express signalling externally with high bandwidth and low latency - the obvious application was external high-performance graphics, especially as it bypasses many of the driver issues you'd see with other solutions. External graphics solutions aren't new, but they have been hampered by low levels of adoption and relatively poor performance compared to desktop and even integrated mobile solutions.
