This motherboard has two PCI Express x1 slots and three PCI Express x8/x16 slots.
I am looking for a controller card that will fit into either one of these PCI Express x1 slots or one of these PCI Express x8/x16 slots.
The PCI slot on this system board is already being used by another controller card.
I have looked for these sorts of cards on eBay, but have had a very hard time finding what I am looking for.
The reason that I need such a card that has these two IDE slots on it is so that I can connect my two IDE DVD Writer drives and two IDE hard drives.
Please respond with the exact URL hyperlinks of where I can purchase such expansion cards from.
