[QUOTE="avner, post: 1546938, member: 312903"] [b]regarding pci slots?[/b] Hey Nick I was wondering if I could ask you another question regarding my Mac Pro 1.1, I installed Windows 7 x64, (even though the efi is only 32 bit, its still very easy) However, with all the drivers 100% installed the audio still only comes out of the internal speaker no matter what I try. So I ordered off amazon the ASUS XONAR D1 -7.1 Channel PCI Audio Card Sound Card However although I thought I did my research the card arrived today and it did not fit. The card is a pci card, clearly its too big for the empty slots in my mac pro. So I don't know too much about the difference between PCI and pci express (pci-e) but it appears that the mac pro 1.1 (early 2006) from what I read online is pci-e. I was wondering if you could lend me your expertise and tell me exactly what kind of expansion slots I have so I know exactly what kind of sound card is compatible with my mac pro. Short of some kind of adapter I think I will need to return my current sound card. By the way, the new chassis is currently being powder coated pure white:) So excited! Thank you so much for your time! [/QUOTE]
