If my eyes serve me right, those are PCI-X slots, not PCI Express slots. The mobo's spec page supports my theory. If that's the case, there is no adapter possible. No PCI-E card will ever be able to be used there. (not at any usable speed for a video card anyway.)

Yeah those are definitely pci-x slots he's got a legacy server/workstation board I don't know if they even put those slots on anymore with PCI Express being on them nowadays
