i have an MSI ATX DDR4 AM4 AMD X370 Chipset SATA III (64bit/s) Motherboard (https://www.amazon.com/MSI-X370-Motherboard-SLI-PLUS/dp/B06XNYR69Q/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1514839316&sr=1-1&keywords=MSI+ATX+DDR4+AM4+AMD+X370+Chipset+SATA+III+%2864bit%2Fs%29+Motherboard)and was wondering if it was compatable with a ASUS 4x4 802.11AC Wireless-AC3100 PCIe Adapter (PCE-AC88) (https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-802-11AC-Wireless-AC3100-Adapter-PCE-AC88/dp/B01H9QMOMY/ref=cm_wl_huc_item)

That's actually an interesting question, because ASUS doesn't bother to tell you, beyond needing "a" PCIe slot, what you need to install it. I'm going to assume it only requires a PCIe x 1 slot (which your motherboard should have, but make sure it not only has one but is accessible), but if I were you I'd contact the manufacturer to be sure it doesn't need an PCIe x 4.

In that case , you do use the ASUS website for the driver.

An addon WIFI card , you get from the manufactures site.
