PCI and PCIE

#1 04 Jan 2010 @ 23:41
I recently bought the ati tv wonder hd 650 dual tuner because it was very cheap and it's PCI. My current motherboard is just pcie but i'm going to build one soon and i'm wondering if i can get a motherboard that has both pci and pcie. I'm looking to build one with the amd phenom 2. So any suggestions?

Almost all boards have both...only cheap OEM boards are limited to one.

I've looked at pictures of them and I don't seem to see the pci slots. Could you show me a picture and point them out to me please? Thanks...

If your provided the make and model of the mobo that would help. Use CPU-Z if needed.

Opened Newegg - Selected hardware --> Mobos --> First mobo listed meets this need and looks pretty cheap.

First its asus, poor reliability.

Secondly, depends on the cpu. If they have a Core i3,i5, or i7 that wont work.

Third, its micro atx. Now thats not really a bad thing these days, but if the case supports an ATX mobo it will give more room for expansion.

I personally have used 4 asus boards, one has been going for about 7 years strong, never had a problem with any.

Thats the thing, ASUS used to be good up until a few years ago.
