Using Riser Card in non SFF PC

[klerg]

I have a Compaq Evo D510 CMT and like to get more PCI slots if possible. There are riser cards for the Evo D510 SFF model is any way that will work on my CMT? 

 

Thanks a lot

The riser cards (IIRC) use a custom slot and aren't generally interchangeable with other systems.

Yes older Riser Cards for like the Deskpro did use a custom slot. But if the riser card for Evo D510 SFF is PCI-based can it work on the Evo D510 CMT?

Why was this moved to Laptops and Pre-Built Systems? My question is about a desktop PC

It doesn't look like the SFF riser will work. If you look at it, it'll put your GPU upside down and possibly not mount to anything. You might be able to get away with a normal rise and mod it to fit in your case. If you want more PCIE slots than you have, you'll probably have to look into bifurcation. If your motherboard even supports it.

I was afraid of that hope it can be done. How will my GPU be put upside down and is it the onboard or AGP GPU that will be like this? The riser for Evo D510 SFF is more normal as it fits into a PCI slot and how will case need to be modded? The Evo D510 only has PCI not PCIE slots, what is bifurcation and how to know if the motherboard can do that?
