I just bought alot of old desktops and they all have pci slots, will this (http://www.ebay.com/itm/PCI-PCI-E-Expresscard-Card-Adapter-3-3V-5V-12V-New-/170622796586?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27b9e9432a#ht_3413wt_1164) enables me to put ATI radeon pcie cards in them?

If you have old motherboards with PCI slots and want to use PCIe cards then you will need this http://www.ebay.ca/itm/PCI-32bits-PCI-E-express-16X-riser-card-adapter-/320693561785?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aaad369b9

I've bought 2 my self and can say they work quite well. Some say it lowers hash rate but I have not noticed any difference in performance from the cards.
