Hi, I'm a new member, I didn't get around to posting a intro because I have to rush to work here in a minute. I just wanted to get throw in a quick question so hopefully I had some answers when I got off.

My question, I set up security cameras all around my house and ended up buying a DVR pci card for my computer to record everything. I bought a AverMedia NV3000

Amazon.com: Avermedia Digital Video Surveillance System NV3000: Electronics

My problem, It is not fitting in my PCI ports. My biggest port in my new desktop is a pci express. So i'm guessing it will need the pci X. Could anyone take a look at the site I posted of the card that I have and tell me if was port size it would need (guessing you can tell by looking at it???)


ANYWAYS, I have a couple old computers, is it possible to desolder a pci port that I could use and Solder it on. Or did I just waste money buying this desktop since I cant use it for this.

Walmart.com: HP Black Pavilion p6523w Desktop PC with AMD Athlon II 220 Processor & Windows 7 Home Premium: Computers

That is the computer that I bought. I guess I should of looked at the specs and realized it didn't have the pci size that I needed. But I'm learning!

Thanks,

Matt

You're going to need to get a PCI-express card and return the PCI card if you want to use it in that PC.
From the description:
3 x PCI Express x1 slots, 1 x PCI Express x16 slot, 1 MiniCard slot; 2 x external 5.25" expansion bays, 1 x external 3.5" expansion bays, 2 x internal 3.5" expansion bays
