I am helping a friend upgrade from a built in graphics card to a pci-
express graphics card. what i am seeing is the cards PCI connectors
and the PCI slot on his Dell computer are reversed.
Mother board: |____|_______________________| I/O plate at back of
computer
Card |_______________________|____| Digital/Analog and
S-video output.
I can't just reverse the card because the I/O would be towards the
inside of the box. Am I crazy or missing something. THe card is for
PCI Express 16X and the computer doesn't specify wether the slots are
1x or 16x etc. would that matter. Every mother board I look at is
the same and every graphics card I see images of are the same. I
don;t see how they fit.
For PCI express 16X the keyway slot is close to the PC backplate.
For PCI the keyway is close to the inside end of the connector.
For AGP it's toward the inside edge, but closer to the center of
the connector. Also the motherboard connector types are
color coded. PCIe 16X = black, PCI = white, AGP = brown.
It looks like your friend's PC has only plain PCI slots.
