Hi guys, I'm fairly new to PCIe land and have a question about something i want to add to my build.

 

I work and study with audio as a profession and was wondering if it is possible to add this card to my build:

StarTech.com 2 Port 1394a PCI Express FireWire Card

 

my mobo claims to have these slots:

- 1 x PCI Express 3.0 x16 Slot (PCIE1: x16 mode)
- 1 x Vertical Half Mini-PCI Express Slot: For WiFi + BT Module

 

Anyone clued up on this?

You'd be able to use it in the pci express x16 slot.

@RKRiley Ah I'm stupid. I can't do this if I have a graphics card in there already right? I need a new mobo to do this I guess..

Do you know if it would be possible to remove the Wi-Fi module and use that slot...?
