Have you contacted the vendor you bought the card from to see if you could exchange it for a PCI card?

Failing that, any computer shops near you that might be willing to work an exchange with you?

if you bought it online,,theres a good chance the company will not refund..some sites state,,make sure the item your ordering is suitable for your pcor simular words to that. maybe if you e-mail them they would replace with the right card,,,but the will charge you from 10% to 25% restocking fee..you just have to see what they say..fialing that flog it on ebay and get off of there what you need.
