Question 1

Will this card work on Windows 10 64-bit?

Accepted Answer

Yes it does.  I have it running now on my Win 10 64-bit machine.

Question 2

Can you use this adapter with a full sized PCI card?

Accepted Answer

Yes.  This is the primary reason that I purchase this card.  I need to put a normal PCI card into a PCI Epress slot.

Now the problem you have with a full size card is usually the bracket is too big.  But this card gives you the opportunity to use an old style PCI card when you don't have the slot to put it in.  It also has a bracket for the card to help it fit.

I hope this helps.

Question 3

I am trying to install this in an Inspiron 3847 so I can use an old PCI card. However it doesn't fit on the cpu because the adapter plus the PCI occupy more space.  Has someone used an additional adapter to help the card fit on the cpu?

Accepted Answer

You will need to use what's called a low-profile PCI mounting bracket for the card you're trying to install in the adapter. If you have a low-profile PCI card it probably came with one. You can still use this with cards that are not designed to be low profile, but you'll have to get creative.

Also, I don't know what you're referring to exactly but it's not the CPU.

Question 4

Would this device be compatible with Windows 7?

Accepted Answer

Yes it is, I installed it and used it successfully with no installation or dricerbissues on windows 7

Question 5

i need to plug into this adapter card an intel pci-x raid controller card. It is:
SRCS28X. 
I understand the pci-x card is 64 bit 133 mhz. 
Will this work?

Accepted Answer

Why would you plug a PCI-X card in to a PCI-X card? This adapts PCI 1x to PCI. Are you saying that your raid controller card is a 4x or 16x? If so, just plug it in to the 1x slot... it'll run slower but it will run without an adapter card.

Question 6

Im not sure I understand this.. but do you have to use the power plug that sits on the adaptor to get the adaptor to function. My first thought is that I would try it without pluggin the powerplug on. I afraid that it will destroy the pci card I want to attach to it. Or can I just skip my worries?

Accepted Answer

The X1 connector on the bottom of the card is not able to provide sufficient power to the X16 card you are plugging into the top of the adapter, so you have to use the pigtail plug to ensure that the card you are plugging into the adapter will have sufficient power to function properly.  That is what I did, and I have not had any problems.

Question 7

Does this support PCI-X cards? I have a PCI-X card and tried plugging into my mobo's 32bot PCI slot and it did not work. I can't find any adapters for PCI to PCI-X, this is the closes thing I have found.

Accepted Answer

I set up 6 DEll T3600 computers with PCI serial cards in them using this adaptor.  These are used 5d - 16hrs a week.  No problems.

Question 8

Does this adapter card compatible to Dell PC Optiflex 3020MT??

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Optiplex 3020 MT has the correct pcie slots and sufficient space for this card.

Question 9

Does the chipset on the circuit board have the chipset of the unit is a Pericom PI7C9X111SL?

Accepted Answer

The chip on the unit I recieved is:

PI7C9X
111SLBFDE
1306GT

The board states:

9x111ETP Rev 3.0

Anoyher note, it worked like a dream with my sata controller and 2 hdds in a raid 0 array. Worth the money if you have a need for it.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

The installation process of this adapter is easy and does not require any driver installation.
