I want to install a firewire card in my PC but aren't sure which type to get. Some of the prospective PCI cards I've been looking at seem to be too long to fit into the slot (which is about 9cms long). Can you help?

    You have three,

    1. PCI Expressx1

    1. PCI Expressx16

    1. mini PCI Express

    The video card has the  PCI Expressx16 slot.

    No, you can not do it. If your video card is in the same slot and I'm sure it is.

    The PCIEx1 is above it and there is no slot to the outside.

    Here you can see the PCIEx1 in relation to the back of the desktop.
