asterisk users - Aug 2004 - PCI Express and Digium Cards

Hi

I'm buying a new box and it brings the new PCI-e standard and not the old
PCI slots.
I would like to know if the Digium Wildcard TDM400P and  
<http://www.digium.com/index.php?menu=wildcard_tdm400p2>Wildcard TE405P
will work with this PCI Express.
<http://www.digium.com/index.php?menu=wildcard_te405p>

Has anybody worked with PCI-e yet?

As far as i understand, the Wildcard TE410P
<http://www.digium.com/index.php?menu=wildcard_te410p>  (3.3 volts) will
not work. am i right?

thanks in advance

PCI-E is a completely different beast, with a different form-factor.  
Traditional PCI cards won't fit into the slot.

A lot of newer boards have both types of slots.  You might want to look 
for one of those.
