Dell Inspiron 660 (PCI slots?)
Hi
I am considering ordering a Dell Inspiron 660 (the one starting at £399 with an i5 processor).
I will be needing to fit a firewire card in it as I will be using it for audio production and my audio interface requires this. I can't find anywhere that tells you how many/if it has a pci/pci express slots?
Please could I be told how many/what kind it has and also if it is possible to fit the following card into the machine - http://www.ebuyer.com/152109-startech-2-port-pci-express-firewire-400-card-pex1394a2?utm_source=google&utm_medium=products&gclid=CJ-mhbev9LQCFTDMtAodogwAnw
Startech 2 port firewire 400 card pci- express.
Your advice would be appreciated!
Many thanks :-)
