    What's suitable for and will fit my HP Pavilion Elite HPE-510t PC?

    I still capture from mini dv tape from a Canon XH-A1.

    HP specs describes the part as a:

    "1394 PCI express x 1 expansion card"

    What does the x 1 stand for?

    Please explain. Any enlightment is appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for joining the discussion.

    If I may ask, do you have any specific recommendations?

    Do I need a low profile card and/or one with a TI chipset?

    I had a friend of mine open it up some time back to install a hard drive and some memory. There looked to be very little room inside.

    How do I know one way or the other? trial and error?

    Start with the low profile card?
