PCI-E x1
0
So I'm wanting to purchase a Hauppauge Colossus so I can record video game footage off of my 360 and other devices for the intended purpose of my TwitchTV stream. Well, it requirse the proper slot, a PCI-Express x1 slot.
The only thing is I can't find a definitive answer on what it is that I have. I've opened up my computer and have seen three slots of the same size as a PCI-E x1 slot. Only thing is that the motherboard isn't conveniently labeled with information regarding the slots.
I have heard that there are similar slots that are shaped and sized the same as a PCI-E x1 slot, so it would be best for me to not assume that it is. Problem is, I'm getting conflicting information. I ran a test of my computer specifications using Belarc Advisor which did not seem to identify any of my expansion card slots as PCI-E x1. Well, I've gone onto several websites with particulars about my make and model - a HP Pavilion P6000 (p6523w) - and all of those sites seem to identify the three small slots as PCI-E x1 slots
So, bottom line, or for those tl;dr users: is there an easy, and definitive way, of telling if you have a PCI-E x1 slot(s)?
