PCI Express 1.0 in other PCI slot

Hello everyone!

 

I'm building a new computer and I considering to buy this motherboard : http://www.ncix.com/detail/gigabyte-h97m-d3h-matx-lga1150-h97-4c-96904.htm

Also, I will buy this wireless card : http://www.ncix.com/detail/tp-link-tl-wdn4800-450mbps-dual-band-wireless-9b-69169-1602.htm

 

However, it seems like the mobo doesn't have any PCI Express 1.0 slots on it and this wireless card is PCI Express 1.0

 

I will only be using one PCI Express 3.0 slot for my graphic card (GTX 770).

 

Is there a way to install this wireless card on this motherboard or do I need to change motherboard?

 

Thanks!

it will work, not much more to say.  :)

Haha ok thank you! I also saw that it can lower the performance of your other PCI Express slots, do you think it's gonna happen? Also is this a good mobo you think?

you can just put the wifi card in the long pci 16x slot 

If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough it will be believed.

The card is not PCI Express 1.0, it is PCI Express X1, which means how big the connector is.

OK so it means I could put it on a PCI Express 2.0 without problems?
