Looks like a PCI to PCI-E 1x converter. No it won't work for graphic cards.

never saw this before but it looks legit... $250 bucks? Buy a motherboard with a PCI express slot for crying out loud XD.

that's pretty neat but that's a lot of money. it's hard to determine what it might be useful for...

Dude, stop holding on to pci. Just get a new rig with pci-e. That adapter isn't even close to being worth the 250 dollars.

Not going to work for anything which needs a backplate - including graphics cards. Maybe handy for RAID cards

No need in purchasing additional software or installing new device drivers; simply plug and play!
I see to extend the life of expensive testing equipment etc. and your old pentium 3's

so $250 may not be unreasonable depending on your situation, i can see em making a lot of money from this. (A flimsy board like that is worth what? 10 bucks to make?)

It's kinda hard to figure out your intentions when you put us in absolutely no context at all.
