Help installing 1394 Firewire Card

[pupadorn10]

I would like to install a 1394 Firewire card in my new HP P6617c desktop.

Can I purchase any type of 1394 card.

The computer indicates there is space for three PCI Express x1 slots.

I can't seem to find information on purchasing a 1394 card specific to HP desktop computers.

Computer is running Windows 7 64 bit

Thanks

The PCI Express x1 FireWire card does not have to be HP brand.

Thank you for the information.

I may have purchased the wrong PCI card since it is not labled as PCI Express.
PCI FireWire IEEE 1394 3 + 1 Port Card + 4/6 Pin Cable

When I compare the card I bought with a PCI Express card the tab slots appear to be different

PCI and PCI Express are two different expansion card standards.

You can refer to the following link for additional information.

• PCI Express

The HP model you specified does not appear to have any non-PCI Express slots.

Thanks again.

It's obvious I bought a PCI expansion card and not a PCI Express.

I will need to exchange for the correct type.
