Sound blaster live?

[arix]

well im getting a new card maybe the live or maybe the audigy but i wanna know it the live will fir in a normal PCI port cause i saw the port it uses and seems to be pci-e to me so will it fir in the old PCI?

For what I know, SB Live! cards should be standard PCI. but if it happens to be pci-e (im going to guess pci-e 1x), it will not fit in a regular PCI slot.

The SoundBalsterLive (http://www.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=1&subcategory=206&product=10315&nav=2) is a PCI card.

No, I don't. What little slot hanging on the back?

[arix]

pci has 1 divisions in the slot but this has 2.

Does the slot resemble this?:

yea thats the same slot will it fit on a PCI slot and for what is that other little division there?

[ComputerNut]

Dont worry about it. I think that second division was for compatibility with the 64-bit PCI-X slots. but it will still work fine in a regular PCI slot. My sound blaster is essentially the same thing.
