So Basically... I just bought a Sound card.
and it's similar to

where the bottom connector part of the sound card is suppose to connect to the motherboard's PCI slot.
And in my case, I have this motherboard:

If you compare both pictures... The PCI connector for the Sound card... is separated into 3 sections. two small ones surrounding a bigger one.
And if you look at the motherboard's PCI slot... it's one big one, right next to a small one. So... How does this work?
Are there two types of PCI slots?
Will I be able to use the sound card?
