You cannot plug in a PCI-E card into a PCI slot. It is physically impossible.

However if you do have a free PCI-E slot - Radeon GPU's are great at mining. It all depends on your motherboard and power supply though.

Don't expect to get rich off it...

Nope.

Nope not a chance period. If you do not have a PCI-E slot you can not use a 7950 or any PCI-E based card with out replacing the motherboard.

is this mobo supporting multiple gpus? http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?cat=Specifications&Model=H61DEL I'm not sure cuz it has multi slots but it doesnt say about the capability
Is it good for GPU oc?
Is it a major issue that the ydont make drivers or bios for such mobos

That motherboard supports (one) 1x16 graphics card.

- 1 x PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot (blue @ x16 mode)
- 5 x PCI Express 2.0 x1 slots

It also has 5x PCI-E slots but only X1 - which would not work with new gpus.
