weird pci card

[Keithshizuo]

i bought this without thinking to check compatity. i thought it would just be standard pci but its not. it fit in the slot but doent fillout all the pins. what even is this standard? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/High-Speed-480Mbps-5-Port-USB-2-0-PCI-Hub-Card-Controller-Adaptor-Module-UK/192312623821?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

PCI

[Keithshizuo]

but its not. it has two gaps and not enough pins

[Levent]

thats a regular PCI, not PCIE.

Are we really getting to the point people don't know about PCI?

but my regular pci slots have more pins and only 1 gap

Yes, it is. It's PCI. And quote me next time.

[Keithshizuo]

this one look lie it would fot in my slot https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/5-Port-PCI-E-to-USB-2-0-VIA-HUB-PCI-Express-Expansion-Card-Adapter-480Mbps/172861908561?epid=2236623818&hash=item283f5f6651:g:EioAAOSwVgZZt4cI

PCI and PCI-e are different connections, just make a 30 seconds google search to understand the difference.

Nothing from what I can tell.

It doesn't matter realistic speaking it is identical, like PCI-e you don't have to fill the entire port, you can put a GPU on a x1 slot and a x1 slot card on the 16x pci-e connector, PCI works the same way all fits one way or another.

[Lurick]

It's still PCI standard it just doesn't need all the pins. The missing ones are just pins that aren't needed

but the pinouts are different. one has 2 gapes, the other has one

I know. I think it's fine. If you're paranoid, just get the one with the full pins, but 99% of the time it'll be fine.

have you ever heard about 3 volt PCI and 5 volt PCI slots ? 

 

 

those "gaps" are key holes. if it has both key holes, it means the card can work in a 3V slot and a 5V

 

and as to why your card is a bit short at the end: i assume it is because these pins are not needed. looking at the pinout, i can see the last 3 contacts on each side carry additional +5V and something related to 64 bit PCI - wich i think are not connected on a 32 bit PCI either way
