Will this PCI card fit into my PCI-X slot?

It depends on your motherboard. This PCI card is keyed for 5V PCI and PCI-X slots. If your motherboard's PCI or PCI-X slots are keyed for 5V, this will work. If it is keyed for 3.3V, it will not.

Everything is hooked up but nothing is working. What should I do? (Windows)
