110135 2002-12-31 04:54:00 I am looking to update my soundcard to a good quality one . I have been looking around the web at manufacturers' sites and notice that some of them state that I need a PCI 2 . 1 compliant PCI slot for the card . What is this and how can I find out if I have one ?

I am running a AMD K6-2 500 PC with Win 98SE .

Can someone please help me here ???

Windows 98 and Windows 95 OSR-2 allows you to easily determine if the computer supports the PCI 2 . 1 specification .

If you are using Windows 98 or Windows 95 OSR-2, please use the following steps to determine if the computer meets the PCI 2 . 1 specification:

Right-click the My Computer icon .

Click Properties .

Click the Device Manager tab .

Click the plus (+) sign next to System Devices .

Double-click PCI Bus .

If a tab labeled IRQ Steering is present, your computer is PCI 2 . 1 compliant .


Others will offer more advice as you may need to open your case to determine if a free slot is available .
