Anyone know how to use a Serial port bracket?

Most new motherboards do not have any onboard serial ports. If you need serial ports I'd recommend a PCI Express x1 to serial port card. I got a $30 one from Rosewill that works nicely on Windows 7 and Ubuntu Linux and it has 2 ports. I don't think Newegg has it anymore though.

^^This is what I would do. Either PCI-e or PCI would be fine.

I need it for updating my satellite. My old computer had a serial port and it worked fine until it broke down some how...

Also I'll look that serial port card up. See if I can find one.

No idea what to look for...so many numbers and letters all too confusing.
