Have a gateway fx6860 desk top. Have a sound blaster audigy 1384 sound card that was oem for for a gateway 700xl. Win7 drivers are available. Can I use this card in the fx6860? If so, directions? Thanks!

all your expansion connectivity options via slots are PCI-E based. That being said if your sound card is PCI-E(irrespective of X1,x4 or X16) you'll be able to populate the slot with your sound card though if it is only PCI based then you'll be unable to drop it into your system.

I'm leaning on the latter unfortunately after seeing this image
