pcie question

[Vielgus-Kutas]

can the mini pcie cards be plugged into regular size pcie slots?

Yes but if they fall in you need an inner tube with a long rope on it.

I mean yes.

You just have to get an adapter from ebay or your local computer store.

No adapter needed. PCI-E 1x, 2x, 4x, and 8x cards will all work in a x16 slot.

Well I'll be damned, I learned something new today. Why they wouldn't make Mini PCI-E compatible with standard PCI-E is perplexing.

So he would need something like this.
