One thing to note is that sometimes particularly with large PC builders like HP is that they can use special versions of motherboards. We have got them where the MoBo is, for example an ASUS model, on spec it might have 2 PCI slots and 8 DIMM slots but because DELL or whoever buy so many to build the machines they specify slightly different specs, so when we open them up if the PC only sells with 2 DIMM cards the rest have no sockets soldered onto the motherboard, and maybe the PCI Ex slot is missing. The holes will be there for the plastic socket but they obviously let the manufacturer not to fit it to save cost and therefore you can't actually upgrade as you might have thought.
