Review on Enhanced Mini PCI-E to PCI-E Express 1X Extension Cord Adapter with USB Riser Card: Amplify Your Connectivity Options by Chris Doe

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Worked well with a small graphics card

Worked well with minimal problems connecting a Zotec GT 710 1GB DDR3 graphics card to an Acer Aspire xc-603g via the wireless card slot. Even with limited bandwidth, it's proven significantly better than integrated graphics. To be clear, the computer is not my gaming computer, just something for my daughter to have fun with. The GT 710 enabled with this adapter made it possible to play an educational version of Minecraft. The only two issues I have with the product are that the PCIe x1 slot is a bit bulky and the graphics card sits at a small angle in the case, although that's picky for the reason I needed it. The real complaint I have is that the large pins in the included power adapter were loose which prompted me to buy another one after being unable to install it after a few minutes. But in the end it fits and works well. Acer Aspire xc-603g 8GB Crucial 1600MHz (running at 1333) 500GB Kingston SSD Zotec GT 710 1GB Netgear a6210 Wireless Adapter HP 24m Monitor
