im confused :(

[Optimusgrime]

so i have bought a asus sabertooth 990fx rev2 and i also have bought a pci internet wireless card and i have also bought a asus sound card which also uses a pci slot but my mobo only has 1 pci slot does that mean i have to make a decision between running a internet card or sound card ?? or am i missing something ??

 

please can someone who has had one or has some sort of experience with the board to tell me which slots to use for which part :)

No you can put both

Your sound card uses pci speed but it wont harm it to use pci 2.0 it just wont benefit

Omaroma, I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about.

 

You can only use one of your cards; PCI cards won't fit and aren't compatible with PCI express slots. You need to return one of the cards and buy a PCI express equivalent.

 

There are some adapters you can buy (PCI-e to PCI) but I hear they are very buggy. I don't recommend using them.
