I'm looking into buying a capture device that is internally in my computer, to plug it into the motherboard it says that I need a PCI-E slot, this is my pci slots without my graphics card in -
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

and this is it with my graphics card in -
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
is the PCIEX1 the slot that I am needing to plug it into or would it go in the PCI?

Thanks,

Adventure

I've just looked around and found an extender for the PCI-EX slot, if I purchased this would it work if i found a way to mount it?

Looking at your motherboard, your slots go in the following order:
PCI x16 (for your graphics card)
PCI x1 (covered by your graphics card because it's a dual slot card)
Legacy PCI (AKA, older slot for older cards)

Unfortunately you won't be able to install both your graphics card and the internal capture card at the same time. Personally, I don't believe in PCI adapters, so I would opt for a regular external capture device that operates with a USB interface that plugs into your PC. I own an HDPVR, and really the difference in quality between that and an internal cap card is minimal. I have heard that file sizes are much larger with internal cap cards, but to each his own. Essentially, you would have to use on-board video without your graphics card to have a PCI cap card. It's up to you.

Would I be able to purchase an extender for the PCI x1 and then use both if I moved it lower down?

Yes he can, he can use a cable extender of sorts.

OP, it is kinda sketchy in my eyes, but if you can find a PCI x1 extender from a credible site, go for it. They shouldn't run you much money. Good luck.
