PCI E slot needed ?

Michaellll · 12 Feb 2011 at 14:57

I have bought a Shuttle Glamor XPC model no SN78SH7 from Overclockers , which has a PCI E expansion slot and a PCI expansion slot.

However the graphics card (a Radeon HD 4800 XFX) for the shuttle is already in the PCI e slot and I do not want to take it out.

I have just recently purchased a Blackgold BGT 3595, PCB card which needs a PCI E slot rather than a PCI slot that is available.

Is there any way round this problem or do I just have to give up and try to resell the BGT card ?

Please let me know if there is a reasonably simple fix, as I am sure I am not the first person to have hit a similar problem.

Thks

No simple fix I am afraid!
It needs the correct slot. No converters exist.

How on earth did I miss that! I did look, honest!
