Ribbon PCI riser cards w/ 2 slots???

**wompser** · 01-15-2004, 01:00 PM

Hello...

I don't know which riser to buy for my Epia motherboard. I know I need a card that goes from one PCI slot to two... but I also need one that is on a ribbon mount or cable mount because my case is so tight on space. (Basically I need it to fit parallel, on top of the motherboard. mini-itx.com sells circuit board ones, but they face the wrong way)

I've found a couple here:

but I have no idea which is compatable. 32 bit? 64bit?? what does that mean?? 5 volt? 3.3 volt? I don't know what that means either! Any assistance is appriciated...

The EPIA is a 32 bit PCI slot and I thought that you need a speacial on for the 1 to 2 PCI slots?

Hmmm... This still does not answer my question I'm afraid. I need a pci extender which goes from ONE pci slot to TWO. And it has to be flexible, so I can orient it a couple different ways. I think this is what I'm looking for: http://www.mycableshop.com/sku/RSRPCI2C.htm but I'm a bit scared by the picture. It looks like this does not have nearly enough wires/gold contacts to be the right thing I need.

I didn't see anything on the buildyourserver.com site, unless it would be easisest to use a PCIRX4-FLEX-A5 Right angle PCI 32 bit Flexible Extender in conjunction with a regular one to two pci adapter. http://www.mini-itx.com/store/default.asp?c=8#p50

that doesnt look like what you need... that just looks like it turns two pci slots into...two pci slots. not one into two..
