Short or compact PCIe card advice needed.

02-16-2011, 06:06 AM

I have a Gigabyte motherboard, and the space available at the top of
the PCI slots is very narrow, about 90mm (3.5").

Are there PCIe cards made so short so that I could fit one in; a USB
or firewire one would do.

That's not a mainboard issue. What you describe seems to me like you have a slim-line case, which require low-profile (short) PCI, AGP, PCI-E cards (low-profile cards are expensive and hard to find).
