There still are mobos with PCI available. I own a mobo with PCI and
PCIe. There are no issues with my two _PCI_ envy24 cards from TerraTec,
but many problems with my RME HDSPe AIO _PCIe_ card. "HDSPe AIO is the
newly developed PCI Express version of the HDSP 9632." - RME
I should have bought the less expensive HDSP 9632 instead ;). For
testing purpose I installed Windows XP, my RME sound card isn't broken,
it definitively is a Linux driver issue and perhaps PCIe support on
Linux too, but maybe PCIe support is not an issue.
IOW upgrading Linux software shouldn't cause issues for a Envy24 audio
cards, just buying a new mobo without PCI makes old cards unusable.
