Solve : Would I be able to use this Sound Card in my PC? |
|
Answer» Hi, I am LOOKING to get this Sound-CARD for my PC - http://www.asus.com/Multimedia/Audio_Cards/Xonar_DG/ However, when the PCI specification was updated to version 2.3 in 2002, while it continued to support both 5V and 3.3V keyed-system board connectors, it ceased supporting cards that require 5V signalling, only supporting 3.3V and Universal expansion cards. This means that although the PCI expansion slots in a NEW computer MAY look identical to those of your previous PC, and physically accept 5V-only cards, if the motherboard is running PCI version 2.3, only cards that can run on 3.3V signalling levels will actually work — most confusing!Explains why the older, non-universal sound card you have isn't compatible... |
