PCI firewire card type for a Pavillion 6720f

‎03-20-2011 10:46 AM

What type of PCI card do I purchase to add at least one firewire port(s) to my Desktop Pavillion 6720f?  I run Windows 7, 64-bit.  It's for using an external hard drive.  Thanks!

Read Big_Dave's reply, you also have 3 PCI Express x1 slots in your machine.

Thank you for the link. It confirmed that I finally purchased the right type of firewire card. (I'm just awaiting delivery).


This is the exact card I got:

Sadly,  I purchased the wrong one again.  But, I am learning more about the motherboard than I'd ever thought I'd need to know.  I followed a previously given link to the motherboard specs and I am going with a pci express x1 card to get my firewire.  Thanks again.
