Can any user verify that the C246-WU4 support old school PCI boards or cards such as the MAudio Delta 1010LT PCI audio card? Intel says the C246 chipset doesn't support PCI cards, but it is recognized that the C246-WU4 uses an Express version of the C246 chipset. Does the Express version natively support old school PCI cards, or are drivers required to support such PCI cards?

The GIGABYTE C246-WU4 motherboard does have 1 PCI slot available. However, whether or not it supports old school PCI cards like the MAudio Delta 1010LT PCI audio card would depend on the specific drivers and compatibility, which is not detailed in the provided product information.
