Radish Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 It's okay, I posted my question on Amazon and the card manufacturers responded that the card is suitable for my motherboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i430VX Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I can also confirm that it should work. It would probably work with any pcie revision slot, maybe slower on rev1. But you have rev3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radish Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 Got the card. Fitted fine. Installed drivers from the packaged CD -- d*** wouldn't work. Went to the website, downloaded and installed latest drivers -- started to work fine. I just backed up all my data partitions using my new USB3 ports and considerably faster than using USB2. Happy now. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
