Universal x1 PCIe Adapter
I bought a x1 PCIe riser for $8 on eBay.
 I used a Dremel to cut out the backend of the slot. This way I could fit any PCIe card into a x1 PCIe slot. The advantage of this is that you won't be voiding the motherboard or video card warranty. The results? It works! The only thing to watch out for is that the card sags a little bit since it does not have the full slot for support. Be careful in vertically mounted mobos so that the card doesn't come into contact with the next card down.   I used a screw to hold the card into the bracket.  It works!

x1 is enough bandwidth for Folding since data isn't continously feed to the card. I also assume x1 is enough for PhysX since it is twice as much bandwidth as dedicated PCI PhysX cards. x1 is also fine to run additional monitors in 2D mode.

Hey Duckie, what happened to your P5E? I thought it had problems with this riser card?
Very cool anyhow.
