    Hello,
    I have a Lenovo computer in which it is
    1x PCI-E port (x1) [free],
    1x PCI-E port (x16) [occupied by graphics card],
    2x PCI port [one occupied by the sound card, the other free].
    I need to add two more music cards, both for PCI -> so I have two PCI ports and one PCI-E (x1) and I need to install 3 music cards for PCI (M-AUDIO DELTA 1010 + 2X M-AUDIO DELTA 1010LT).
    Is it possible to somehow "conjure up" a place, or the only possibility is to change the plate and housing?
    Regards, Grzegorz

    It remains to replace the board, card or - if the installation is possible - the controller from PCI-E 1x to PCI.

    Hello. Conjure it not really, but the change of the album does.

    Replacing the plate itself will not help, because there is no space in the housing for herring from cards. How can I get a PCI-E x1 to PCI adapter? I couldn't find anything like this on the internet ...

    They used to be like that once. Connecting Multiple PCI Cards (M-AUDIO Delta 1010 & 1010LT) on Lenovo PC with Limited Ports But are they? And if you buy a newer housing, the computer will almost be modernized.

    Because, even though the name only differs by one letter, it is a completely different bus and it is impossible to switch from one to the other with an adapter.

    The computer has an Intel 2x3GHz processor and 8 GB of RAM, so it's not bad.
    Will this adapter act as if it were a normal PCI input?

    Sorry for the confusion, but this adapter will not be possible ...

    This is a picture of my CD. I marked in red how much the graphics card (two monitors) takes, and on
    yellow one music card.
    And this is related to the fact that you will have to change the board and the housing, right?

    There are risers on the allegro on the tape - and then this adapter and then plug it into the Audio adapter.

    There are suitable adapters available.

    There is simply a suitable chip that allows communication between the two standards.

    Second sound card to PCI slot, third card will be via PCIe PCI adapter.
    To connect this adapter you will need a PCIE X1 riser, you will need to fit it somehow under the graphics card.

    By adapter I mean an adapter that allows you to switch from one type of connector to another without modifying the signals flowing through this connector, e.g. m.2 to pci-e. A bus controller is required for the transition from pci to pci-e.

    Subject to close, I changed the computer. But thank you very much for your help :D

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the challenge of connecting multiple M-AUDIO Delta sound cards (Delta 1010 and Delta 1010LT) to a Lenovo PC with limited PCI and PCI-E ports. The user seeks to install three PCI cards but faces constraints due to occupied slots. Responses suggest that replacing the motherboard or the case may be necessary, as there is insufficient space for additional cards. Some users mention the possibility of using a PCI-E to PCI adapter, but caution that such adapters require specific chips for compatibility and may not function as expected. Ultimately, the consensus leans towards upgrading the motherboard or case for better expansion options.
