adding a PCI-e slot?


Hello.

Here is a picture of my mobo.....it can support a PCi-e slot, but i dont have one.... you can see in the red box some holes.....and also, if you go to the side of the case....you see that metal that you can take off (like in normal PCI slots. Do you guys think i can add a PCI-Slot??? (well, a technician does it of course) ?

I SERIOUSLY doubt it... Besides having to have some pretty awsome soldering abilities, you'd probably also have to reprogram the BIOS, and maybe even other things. I doubt the only thing that's missing is the PCI Express slot.

It would be hard enough to find just a PCI-E slot, and it would be pretty difficult to cut holes in your motherboard to feed the pins through, and you would also need to solder it to the motherboard without touching anything else.

So not to mention that it's practically impossible to do, theres also a possibility that your motherboard still wont support it.

Well, other than seeing "PCIEX16" on the motherboard, it doesn't look like it can do anything with that... Probably just left over from another model that has that component feature. You'll just have to get a new mobo...
