Computer Techy Help Needed

Hey guys i need a bit of help with a mobo question. I currently have a UAD-1e card fitted to an AGI slot(the purple one with the sticker on below)

Would a Duende PCIe card fit the same type of slot as it doesnt seem to be a standard PCI-e sized slot??

Thanks in advance and hope that makes some sense

I don't know the answer, but what you need to know is if a 1x (small) PCIe card will go in a 16x (big) PCIe slot.

Just thought I would clear that up... There's no such thing as an "AGI" slot.

That is my mobo dude, they call it the AGI slot, it is larger than PCI but houses my UAD PCI-e card, just need to know if it could handle Duende PCIe

'Additional AGI Express slot to adopt 2nd PCI Express x 16 VGA card, and other PCI Express x4, x2, x1 interface cards'

As you can tell i'm not very switched on with computer jargon

It appears AGI is some kind of made up term by ASRock

Yes, if it already supports a 1x PCIe card, then there is no reason why it shouldn't support a different one (the Duende).
