    what chipset does it have ?
    VIA or NEC ?

    • ryang on 13/10/2011 - 21:33

      By the looks of the picture, it's a D720200AF1 chipset, which is NEC.

      Does this come with a low-profile adaptor? Or is there a low-profile version? Wouldn't mind one for the HP miniserver.

      • yanman on 13/10/2011 - 21:53

        My thoughts also.. be very handy on my Microserver.

        • Bob Wang on 15/10/2011 - 07:30

          does it support any server os?

          thanks

        • ryang on 15/10/2011 - 08:44

          NEC chipsets have had support in Linux since 2009, and there are Windows drivers available.

    • atlas on 13/10/2011 - 22:01

      Is one chipset better than the other?

      • Foma2 on 13/10/2011 - 22:04

        Yes. VIA one causes a lot of problems.
        NEC is much better.

        • fufufu on 14/10/2011 - 02:14

          Source on that please?

    • Big Ben on 13/10/2011 - 23:00

      Correct me if I'm wrong, but those prices are all approximate as they are converted from foreign currencies such as the GBP and US dollar. Considering the fluctuating market and the fact that Paypal and banks will often charge conversion fees for foreign purchases, this deal is still probably cheaper than the ones listed on ebay. Seems like a good deal to me.

    • Postulative on 14/10/2011 - 16:32

      Actually, computer says YES even with Ebay competition.

  • fatice on 13/10/2011 - 23:17

    I prefer this one

    At least the caps are better.

    • Obake on 14/10/2011 - 09:35

      I like how the first photo shows solid caps but the other 2 show the standard caps and different power supply and different chips…

    • chromium on 14/10/2011 - 11:22

      Is that one good? What's the ASMedia controller like? I know they make decent usb 3 controllers for sata HDDs. Way better than the jmicron crap

  • llama on 13/10/2011 - 23:29

    I really wish that I had a motherboard with a PCI-e slot in it.

    Still running the old AGP + PCI rubbish here LOL (not really laughing, it's becoming really painful to do some things now days).

    • EarlyBird on 14/10/2011 - 00:37

      If you're holding on to AGP because you can't bear to let go of an expensive high-end AGP graphic card, then Albatron has a AGP to PCIe convertor card named ATOP that will allow you to run AGP graphics on PCIe.

      • yanman on 14/10/2011 - 08:36

        Is there really such thing as a high-end AGP card anymore? :|

        • ryang on 14/10/2011 - 09:15
          +1

          Sure is, you can get some pretty powerful AGP cards.. If someone was interested in only getting better graphics performance, upgrading just the AGP card might make sense..

          And just to really blow your mind : Zotac slaps PCI connector on GeForce GT 520

    • llama on 14/10/2011 - 09:33

      Yeah, there are (fairly) powerful AGP cards, but that is not my problem. My hassle is that to do a decent upgrade I have to change everything, nothing can be recycled! And I cannot really keep XP on a brand new build, so I must upgrade the OS as well.

      The machine is set up "perfect" and does everything I need EXCEPT for video encoding and HD playback. That is where it's a problem, since even with a HD3650 there is simply not enough grunt to playback 720p at high bitrates. And encoding / ripping is so slow with these older machines… the modern CPUs and GPUs are so much more optimised for video work!

      So there is probably a $1000 hardware investment, but also a massive amount of time required to set up the new machine. Plus my kid's gaming machine (a P4 + 6800 Ultra) would be #1 if there was any upgrades around here. None of those are things that I can prioritise at the moment, so I am pretty much stuck with the old clunkers.

      • ryang on 14/10/2011 - 09:55

        Actually, a speedy upgrade isn't as expensive as you imagine…

        You can get an i3, motherboard and a heap of RAM for under $300. If your case + PSU are decent enough you can re-use those, otherwise there are some decent ones for ~$100. If the HDD's are SATA then they should be fine unless you need more space.

        So unless you need a heap of grunt from the CPU or GPU, it's not that expensive. Also, if you have school-aged kids, you get to claim half of it back at tax time.

        • llama on 14/10/2011 - 10:09

          Thanks - Yeah I know, but I wouldn't bother doing the upgrade for a budget i3. When I do it, I DO want heaps of grunt… or there is no point LOL. The primary HDD in this machine is an 80GB IDE, but in the next upgrade I'll go SSD for the operating system. Just that, and a legit copy of Windows 7 blows $300 to $400.

        • ryang on 14/10/2011 - 10:18

          @Windows 7, yeh, I always forget about that… I'm still using my free copy from launch! One of the benefits of doing MS training. :)

      • annoynimous on 15/10/2011 - 18:03

        this $1000 statement of yours is so lame, i just built a e5200 htpc out of used parts for my brother, it was $250 and performs probably twice as fast as whatever junk you have there. Even a $40 brand new radeon card in the store can playback 1080p blu ray disc/mkv without a hitch.

        there's also plenty of ready made core 2 duo pc's being sold in the used market everyday, you don't even need to build one anymore.

        time spent = money saved, if you hate spending time to save money then pay up harvey norman to build a pc for you.

  • McMerc on 14/10/2011 - 00:18

    how much at msy?

    • EarlyBird on 14/10/2011 - 00:42

      @McLarenMercedes

      Hmm, that depends.
      Is your McLaren or Mercedes blue or green coloured?

    • Cheeper on 14/10/2011 - 00:47

      The second one is more expensive than this one.????

  • McMerc on 14/10/2011 - 00:42

    and what about these babies?
    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/5-25-PC-Media-Dashboard-Front-Pan…

    Any feedback? They look nifty - wish they have USB 3.0 though……

    • llama on 14/10/2011 - 10:03

      Those are just ports. You need something to plug them into… basically, you connect them to the spare internal motherboard connectors. There is no "circuits" in that panel, except for the card reader, everything else just like like an "extension cord"

      This thread is for an adapter card that provides USB 3.0 ports in computers that don't have them. If you had a motherboard that had USB 3.0 inbuilt (that you could plug that front panel device into) then you couldn't need the PCIe card that is the subject of this thread.

  • bamzero on 14/10/2011 - 11:06

    Can also pick up a 4-port on ebay for ~$16.

  • chromium on 14/10/2011 - 11:41

    I ordered one, it's NEC so should be fine and for $10 who cares?
    I only have 2 USB 3.0 ports on my PC an extra 2 will be handy

  • Windows7forever on 14/10/2011 - 18:08

    Excellent. I'm so gonna buy this!

  • quan on 15/10/2011 - 07:07

    Seems like a decent deal, bought 1!

  • Windows7forever on 15/10/2011 - 08:29

    Damn, I just realised that this card needs a PCI EXPRESS port, which my motherboard only has a single slot(most computers are the same) which is already occupied by my graphics card. Shame they couldn't pump enough juice out of a regular PCI slot :(

    • ryang on 15/10/2011 - 08:43

      It needs the PCIe slot for the transfer speed. Most USB 3.0 cards pull their 'juice' from the 12v via molex connector. :)

  • brutus on 15/10/2011 - 15:03

    what about this one with a low profile adaptor?
