Installed on new computer in PCIx1 slot, and the computer wouldn't even turn on. I should have read the other reviews before purchasing.

I Suggest that you buy it ONLY for the 2 serial ports, because they CAN be connected to any motherboard's serial headers.

12 Easy Steps to Installing a PCI Adapter
Card
The simple task of installing a PCI adapter card into a desktop computer
takes only a few minutes. All you need to complete the job is our handy
step-by-step, photo-illustrated guide and a Philips screwdriver. Please
note that there are many PCI adapters that can be installed in your computer
system. Therefore, this brief guide only covers the physical installation
of the card itself. To install peripheral attachments you will need to consult
the installation directions that come with the adapter card.
PCI
Express - Delivering Dramatically Improved Graphics
Doubling the bandwidth of the AGP 8X graphics bus, the new PCI Express represents
the most profound change to desktop architecture in nearly a decade. PCI
Express replaces AGP, allowing much larger amounts of data to move between
the graphics card and the CPU, and will soon replace PCI expansion slots
as well. The PCI standard allows for a 32-bit bus with a maximum throughput
of 133MB/s. By contrast, PCI Express will run at 2.5GHz. PCI Express is
a two-way serial connection that carries data in packets along two pairs
of point-to-point data lines, compared to the single parallel data bus of
traditional PCI. Gamers will benefit from an incredible upgrade in video
quality with PCI Express, because it will allow for more powerful video
cards, inspiring developers to create more realistic environments that will
make games come alive with astonishingly lifelike colors and images. Video
enthusiasts will also benefit because PCI Express will accommodate higher-quality
video throughput (amount of data you can send per second). As network television
moves over to HDTV broadcasts, PCI Express positions the PC platform for
integration into the living room, while also allowing for HD video editing
and other bandwidth-intensive tasks. PCI Express is compatible with existing
PCI drivers and software operating systems and is designed to co-exist with
current PCI hardware.
