Is there any converter available from PCI to PCI Express slot? I have to install PCI-85 card only available for PCI slot, but the servers I am looking at only have a PCI Express slot.

I don't believe such a thing exists. The two buses are too different for the signals to be readily converted. I would suggest looking at some different servers.

This might work for you:

Thanks Chris.

Have you had any luck? I have the same problem.

I have a different problem, I want to go the other way.

I have an older computer and just found this killer video card on sale. When I got it home I realized it was PCI-e, and I only have a PCI slot. Is there any way to convert or adapt my PCI slot and be able to put in the PCI-E card?

Same Here, HD the lot, really gutted

I have that exact same problem. I bought a great video card, but found that it wouldn't fit into my PCI slot. I am also wondering if there is a converter.

Newer computers use PCI Express for video cards and all the new video cards seem to be PCI Express these days. There are several different mechanically incompatible PCI Express connectors which are intended for different maximum speeds. The video cards use the highest speed version. PCI Express is a high speed serial bus, while PCI was a parallel bus.

Older computers used AGP for video. Even older ones sometimes used PCI. PCI-e by the way, is not the same thing as PCI Express. It's a higher speed version of PCI. It wasn't very common.

I would suggest you either take the video card back to where you bought it, or replace the rest of the guts of your PC (or buy a new PC).

Yes. you could get a new motherboard for what a converter would cost. But if you look on pricewatch or other services you should be able to find a NOS PCI card without any problem.

Mine is worse; My CEO needed a port replicator and the one sent to me connects via a PCI-Express card. His laptop only has the PCI port. So if no convertor exists which is cost-effective I shall have to return it to the vendor.

Convert from PCI to PCIe card.
