Basically any pcie device used with this adapter will be reduce to a single pcie channel. Basically if the device even works, it will be at a reduced speed. I hope that all makes sense. **Q: can this be used for a gaming laptop?** A: No. There isn't enough room in a laptop for the board. **Q: Would this fit Into a Dell optiplex 745 desktop** A: The StarTech.com PCIe X1 to PCIe X16 will fit in any desktop computer with an available PCIe X1 slot; however, be aware that if you have a graphics card that has a big cooling shroud, I would recommend to move the graphics card to another PCIe X16 slot on the motherboard. In addition, I would keep in mind that this adopter is about 1inch high and installing any card in it, could be a bit taller for some cards. **Q: Will a low-profile slot bracket fit as if it was a full height bracket with this adapter?** A: Yes ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ looks great works great *by A***H on 18 June 2015* looks great works great, though do your home work first make sure you have room inside the tower (esp) if you have a small form factor tower might be abit of a squeeze! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SAVED ME BUYING A NEW MOTHERBOARD! *by L***Y on 27 June 2016* I used this for a simple old PCIe card.

Unfortunately the combined depth of my X16 low profile graphics card and this X1 adapter meant it wouldn't fit in my tower.
