I just started wondering if I could even use the 1010 if I got that, since I'm not sure if I have any PCI ports at all. I have a few express ports, but lspci only shows this about regular PCI: 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev 92) Not sure what that means. I have a firewire port though, maybe that is actually the way I should be looking.
