 @3d9e02e6 @e7fa5e63 wow I never knew something like this existed. I'm thinking about pulling out my WiFi card as I don't use it anyways, and putting this in the PCIe slot

 @fec35c23 @e7fa5e63 yeah those are handy, IIRC they make differnet flavors where top speed is dictated by both your PCIe "X" speed, as well as the version your mobo supports

 @3d9e02e6 @fec35c23 the new Raspberry Pi 5 is coming out this month and it supports a one channel PCI socket, an mvne SSD, two USB 3 and 2 USB 2 ports, a real power button, 2 HDMI ports at 4K by 60 hertz, a new GPU chip and a new ARM CPU at 2-2.9 GHz. 4GB $60 8GB $80 and they're giving priority to single order hobbyists to limit price scalping by bulk buyers. Will need a new case design too. PoE hat coming later. A low end minipc rival?

 @e7fa5e63 @fec35c23 lol i appreciate the utility but the pci card would be bigger than the board itself, right?
