Hi Guys, im looking to buy this wireless card and was wondering if it was compatible with my mobo as it says it needs a pci express slot and im not 100% sure if i have that as all the other pci slots look the same except the pci-e x16 slot but on the website spec for my board it says i have:

1 x PCI Express x16 slot
1 x PCI Express x1 slot
5 x PCI slots

My Mobo is a Gigabyte P35-S3G, thanks in advance guys

The PCIe x1 slot is the small black one above the PCIe x16 slot. That card should be okay in there.

Just be aware that if you plan to use a PCI-e graphics card then, depending on its slot side and cooler size etc, it might not fit with the wireless card right above it. Been there, done that!

Should be fine, I had a problem with a similar board. The ram slots stick out behind the PCI-E x1 port, my Xonar DX wouldn't fit
