Topic: Motherboard/Upgrade Options For HDSP9652 PCI

I have a PCI HDSP9652 in a PC I built about 5 years ago.  I'd like to keep it & upgrade the PC.  Was looking at PCs today but everything I saw just had PCI Express slots.  Any recommendations for motherboards &/or complete PCs that will accept this card?  I prefer buying a desktop system, but would build one myself if the savings make it worthwhile.  Not looking for top of the line - more like bang for the buck just this side of the steep slope on the price curve.  Thanks.

Thanks.  I searched the forums before I posted & again after your reply but didn't find what I needed.  Any links &/or info to steer me in the right direction will be greatly appreciated.

I just built a new PC, with an Asus P8Z68/Deluxe Gen 3, an i7 2700k quad,16 gigs of Kingston value ram and an asus silent 210 nvidia graphics card, the pci slot works grerat with the multiface pci card, i then installed Pro tools 10 and everything is working great so far.
I did check with Chris Ludwig and then I checked with Asus tech support, all agreed before hand that they thought it should work, and IT DOES.
I also have a Toshiba Qosmio X505-Q895 with the express card going to a multiface as well, i now have 2 multifaces and i am going to use them together to link the 2 computers, the laptop has Cubase 6 and all my plugins on it
I am getting a Apple macbook pro with a i7 quad 2 GHZ- i am looking at using this interface to go to the thunderbolt input

check it out-it may be the pcexpress solution to apples lack of a pcexpress card on the 15" models, and i dont want to loose the ability to have an external monitor so i am looking into this usb to dvi/vga adapter from evga

anyone have any input?
feel free to email me with questions as well if you have any
Both Chris and Jeff have been most helpful as well, Jeff has been helping me with my multiface issues for about 7 years, they are great support specialist and i thank them

Hello, I have the same RME plugged in a Gigabyte GA-H67A-UD3H-B3 (modern hybrid mobo) and it works flawlessly! plenty of power! You have sata 6gb, PCI and PCIE, USB3, firewire, and you can put any of the latest CPUs on it! It is not very expensive either.
For me it is a perfect choice
