Does anyone still use pci?

anonymous22x · Mar 9, 2012

okay so i was looking at the new asus p8z77 ws and it has no pci slots but it has alot of features that i like, so i was wondering if anyone still uses pci slots, or if the're basically obsolete these days,
thanks for the help and good luck to all :comp:

nah man all those things can be put on a pcie 1x slot. they may be a bit more expensive but they are better.

I still use them at work on the older dell systems we have but other than that not really.

edit: why do you need blue tooth on a PC? but i believe they do make BT cards

i saw the asus deluxe models had it but not the work station i figured a usb would be easier anyways if i did need bluetooth

I'm using an UAD pci card in a X79 system (pci to pcie bridge----> asus p9x79). No problem.

I only use my PCI slot for my TV tuner. And I don't give it a lot of usage.

I had a PCI sound card, but I took it out about two weeks ago. Other than that I didn't have a use for PCI.

I have a bunch of PCI cards I still use.

Intel GB Nics in PCI slot (VNC/RDP/Cygwin)
Sound Cards
Add on USB cards
GPU in rigs that dont need a high power video card.

H eck I run a bunch of PCI-X cards as well (dual port NICs, Supermicro 8 port SATA card, etc)

Basically all I use it for is sound cards.

I still use PCI now and then.

Had to use it for NIC cards sometimes when the onboard won't work, used it for sound cards now and then, and I've used it for a game controller port sometimes.

Does anyone still use pci?
