PCI-E is PCI-Express for video cards not sound!
PCI-Express is not just for video cards. You might want to do research before opening your mouth, because you don't seem to know much.
PCI-E is PCI-Express for video cards not sound! Without any standard pci slots free where internal sound cards are installed you may have to look at usb sound devices. Being in Canada not the U.S.? you will have to start looking at TIgerDirect.CA or another Canadien vendor since newegg doesn't ship to Caanada. And newegg isn't the only U.S. vendor that can save on costs.
(Sometimes you can find them higher then others on things.! Price comparison between the vendors available makes far more sense.
Otherwise the vendors make more dollars!

What was plain and simple was the development of adapters for using a pci type card for PCI-E 1x slots by two companies in one article. Creative Labs is one of the two leading makes for sound cards/devices with "Available PCI 2.1 slot" seen as one of the requirements on their latest models. In fact the only manufacturer is actually looking into marketing a 1x card is Asus in the March 2007 article seen at http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2007/03/16/sounds_of_asus_heard_in_hannover/

Yep, right again. ASUS is the only company even looking into PCI-E sound cards. That's why creative has a prototype for one:

Oh, and not to mention this one from Broadcom: (Not really the average user's sound card, but still a sound card)

Geez can you guys just not drop something, you're all like little terrier dogs or something...
Right, PC_Eye, we don't care what you "meant" or "implied" everyone here is digging at your first point which has been quoted back to you, it was a statement that said PCI-e was for GPU's not sound cards... you can forgive everyone for perhaps jumping to conclusions, but that is just a tiny bit of a misleading statement.
To everyone else having a go at PC_Eye, will ya just chill out for 30 mins and have a look at how petty you're being... seriously, one guys mistake in one single post has now gone completely from the author's question by 10 posts....
Get back on topic and drop the whole PCI-e thing

Oooh, believe me, it is not going un-noticed at all... steps are being takenIt just bothers me how PC Eye seems to make baseless claims, or incorrectly refute others, and he'll always be so condescending about it, but I think finally some of the moderators are starting to take notice.
