Nat,
I see that the 5450 has PCI Express-16 2.1. My MB has PCI Express-16
(likely 1.0 since the version is not specified). The card should still
work according to the design specs of PCI Express, but I wonder what
version of PCI is on your MB. Also, I see two different heat sink styles
on the 5450: one is flat and black, the other is red and quite high. I
wonder if the red one would fit in my case.
The 5430 is highly rated for Linux, but it does not exist in the market.
It often seems that by the time testing using OS drivers gets reported the
market has moved on--the parts are no longer being sold.
