Topic: Considering MF II --> 9632 or AIO

I currently run a Win7 desktop with Hammerfall PCI card connected to a Multiface II.

I am considering moving the Multiface II to my laptop permanently, so I need an audio solution for my desktop PC.

I am looking at both the 9632 and the AIO.

Question #1:  is the AIO PCI Express or PCI Express 16?
(here are 2 pages from my motherboard manual, maybe this will make it easier to answer the question)

Question #2:  Can I leave the Hammerfall PCI card installed and just add an AIO or 9632, OR must I remove the Hammerfall?


Thank you
