Can someone tell me why the PCI Bus on this card doesnt look like the rest of the PCI cards?

I wanted to buy this for windows98se, but the pci slot is different, and i dont belive it will fit on my pci slots. I dont get it

Why are you using Windows98SE? You are kinda of throwing money away by buying all this old stuff you know.

And thats a PCI 2.1 card, PCI 2.0 has the separation toward the expansion slot side. And make sure your Mobo supports 2.1, and 2.0

But for a short desc of the differences.

Quote:

PCI 2.1 adds concurrent processing (the ability for PCI to transfer while the CPU bus and/or ISA bus are also transferring), a couple of new card ID data elements added, and a few other minor changes, including some things which were optional in PCI 2.0 made mandatory in 2.1. For the most part these changes were very minor, and most PCI 2.1-compliant cards will work in PCI 2.0 systems.

EDIT: Are these joke posts? Nobody this day and age can be completely serious with what you have been asking. Nvidia 5500 and 98se??

And what is that bizarre U2k stuff in your sig? Quote taken from your blog.....

And btw, about the celebrity/well known thing. This is true, but i cant tell you who i am. So lets just leave it at that. So as always, love one another, be peaceful, help others and never turn your back on anyone at anytime.

Celebrities and people of power dont use 98se, and look to buy ge6200's

You have been kinda confusing since you have joined.

What do you want, ChaosMinionX, he's running a PII w/512MB RAM. Guess he has a glorified doorstop, eh?

Page 7, shows several types of slots.

From the card picture, it looks like a PCI card keyed for 5v working only - PCI cards with both slots cut are "universal".

Is your system slot keyed for 5V (far end) or 3.3v (plate end) ?

lol, i admit i got a chuckle out of this kinds of posts, but he can be serious as well.
open the world for real, there are people out there still owning Windows 98 and their very old and legacy or very outdated computer systems, some can't afford a computer of their own at all, and when they have a chance to use a computer they are using Windows 98 systems, that's all available to some people.

as for the op's post, try emailing BFG Tech support ( support@bfgfixx.com ) and consult them whether or not the PCI card can be used in your system board.
