I have an HP m8067c computer with one PCI slot that has a wireless card in it. I have no need for the wireless adapter. 802.11 b/g wireless PCI adapter card
I would like to take out that card and put in a USB 3 card but the cards I'm finding say PCI-e or PCI Express. The card in the computer doesn't look like these cards.
I'm used to dealing with memory, video cards and hard drives. This just never came up before so I don't know what brand is any good, I don't know what will fit and work. I thought I'd just be able to get a card and stick it in just as I do with all the other stuff.
I've found some for 15 to 20 dollars and others as high as 80. For what I want, a USB 3 that I can plug in my backup drive the 15 to 20 sounded just fine but they're all PCI-e.
my card look like the first one below, all the other cards look more or less like the second card below
