Inquired about the new wifi 6 ax200 adapter card. Seeking confirmation on compatibility with my older CPU. Utilizes a PCI-E X1 slot, which is available. On Intel's website, there seems to be uncertainty about compatible CPUs, and I haven't found specific information for my model. Appreciate any guidance ahead of time. Thanks!

PCI_e is a common standard. It offers a universal way for AIC to interact with the system bus. If the operating system includes a driver or you can add one, it should function properly. The main concern is whether the link can be overwhelmed. Likely not. I’ll need to review the relevant standards. UPDATE: PCI_e version 1.2 supports around 500MB/s or roughly 5Gbit, which should be sufficient. It seems the CPU shouldn’t become a limitation if the card only transmits 3Gbit.

The information isn't clear. There are references to drivers on Intel's site.
