The adapter *may* work fine. I'd try a little research before purchasing.

My instinct is it may be more fiscally responsible (and futureproof) to replace the video card instead. It might be possible to spend less on a better PCIe video card and leave the PCI space for the EMU. Just another way of approaching it, worth considering. Your system has plenty of RAM already. Video may not be an issue at all from the git-go.



Bob:

I agree about the adapter route - adapters are things that often fall into the compromise category.

The whole purpose and main purpose of the new machine was to be able to handle 25 MB photo files without having spiders spin webs around me while waiting for an image to load. The video card that was put into the machine is part of the solution. It would be difficult to return an installed video card that is part of a custom built machine. I'm pretty well stuck with it.

I just assumed (stupidly it seems) that the EMU would fit into the new box.

I think the final solution (unless something suddenly pops up) is to keep the machine with the EMU until both die (or I go first )
