Ok, the chip is from 3Q'10 and PCI-E 3.0 is from November 2010, but 1.0a is a
bit silly too.
For what it's worth, if people need to slot a longer card,
http://www.adexelec.com/pciexp.htm has
adapters that should allow longer cards to slot, just work at x1 speeds. They
also have cards to
adapt a standard x1 card (or longer with the same adapters) into a PCI-E mini
card slot.
I'm having trouble finding any usable x1 cards. A 4x 1G NIC is an x4 card.
Most SATA cards are
x4 or longer as well. Has anyone found any fun x1 cards other than sound,
rs232/parallel, video
capture and low end video card?
