PCI question

[Nik00117]

Available PCI 2.1 or higher compliant slot for the audio card

Now I got a PCI slots. But I've never heard of a 2.1. What do they mean? Couldn't I just buy this plug it in and it'll work?

Are you sure it isn't USB 2.1. i havn't ever heard of PCI 2.1 neither.

Yoo Hoo...

It's a spec on the pci slots. If you run Everest you can see the current specs for the pci as well as the agp slot. It is a standard they use.
Google it. Makes for some interesting reading.
