ok guys i jus need the nastiest cheapest PCI netowrk card you can find me.

i found this http://www.ebuyer.com/product/132468#

but if you look at images it has 2 dips in the pins where as pci slots only have 1 dip ?????

like this http://www.xiertekusa.com/images/products/P1010597.JPG

i notice even on that one there are pins missing bout the smae place as the ebuyer one so does that mean the pins there arent needed and some companies jus put blank circuit board there instead of leaving a gap ???

respond ASAP please need to get this ordered thanks

It's just dual voltage, it will work in a standard PCI slot.

The reason the card has two notches is that it's a universal card and that it can accept both 3.3V and 5V signals depending on the revision of the PCI slot. It should work fine on your motherboard.
