I am currently running an ABit IX38-QuadGT with: 8800GTX (16x in a 16x slot) Areca 1210 (8x in a 16x slot) Asus Xonar D2X (1x in a 4x slot)
All working fine, although for a few reboots after a BIOS flash, the areca seems to report its running at 1x. Not sure what makes it do it, nor what makes it flick back to 8x and stay there. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Greg Sevart > Sent: 09 July 2008 14:02 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [H] Non-video cards in PCIe slot > > In theory, yes, you should be able to. > > In practice, a lot of boards have busted implementations and don't > work well > with cards other than graphics.
