MOST NEW COMPUTERS ARE NOT
COMPATIBLE WITH i200/i230
PRODUCT LIST > i230 >

i200 Compatible DESKTOP Computers

The i200 is a 5V 32bit PCI card (not 3.3V). The i200 can insert into a 32bit or 64bit PCI socket. And, the socket must be capable of supplying 5V to the i200. If you are not sure if your PCI slots are 5V or 3.3V (or universal 3.3V & 5V), then one can examine the KEYs in the sockets. For details on what to look for, click here.

The i200 card does not work with PCI version ≥ 2.3, does not work with 3.3V only PCI slots, does not work with "PCI-Express" (PCI-E, PCIe), and does not work with "PCI-X".
