    If you need a PCI in 2022. you probably need it for some industrial purpose for old controller cards so 310$ is a tad above nothing.

    Comes with an RS-232 on the back panel as well. In some science/engineering fields PCI is still used for rather expensive interface cards, so makes sense to still have things like this available.

    This is not as outlandish as it looks . Companies that their whole production line runs on win 95 or 98 or even dos and need pci slots and Isa slots they end up paying thousands to get new old stock with warranty. For example you have a soda bottling company the whole system runs on dos and works flawless ,you just need a pci slot and compatible hardware . Paying few k's for an old new stock computer +warranty is a no brainer , obviously except some retro lovers this makes absolutely no sense for us !

    this has some niche uses for home usage anyways personally the only thing i have on pci is a sound card and a usb 2.0 adapter and neither are in use theyre in storage still installed on a haswell 4690k Asus motherboard guess its good for some retro gaming or emulation stuff

    One could easily create a sleeper build these days with green PCBs.

    But for a GPU you have to resort to the OEM ones from Dell.

    Such boards can be tagged even at a $1000 mark and will still find a market niche. Many industrial and academic clients with loads of old peripheral equipment/software will gladly fork for it, facing the prospect of millions dollars wasted for total furbishing and long downtime.

    Dude, I've got a SB Audigy that I'd really love to use again... And yes, there are Windows 11 compatible drivers for it.

    I have a more modern X-Fi card, but it doesn't compare to that beauty with golden connectors...
