You can put any lower PCI express card into a higher slot number, ie x16 supports x1, x4, x8, and x16 while x4 will support x4 and x1.

Maybe you need to change that order before it ships or did I miss something? ----- Original Message ----- From: James Kerr <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: NT System Admin Issues <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Friday, August 29, 2008 10:07 AM Subject: Re: newisys 2110-i motherboards Do these software based RAID cards actually increase performance?

I have a couple systems I do testing for Xen and *did* some Hyper-v testing with. Possibly I can suggest a config that I know works from experience that fits your budget as I built my own rigs as well. jlc From: Michael B. Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2008 4:37 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: newisys 2110-i motherboards Related Q: a few weeks ago someone (Blackstone? Espinola? I don't remember) posted a site that had really excellent prices on white-box servers. (I need something inexpensive for home that I can use as a Hyper-V server.) Anyone remember what that site was? (And, BTW, it's a real failing for me - I don't really "do" hardware. So, designing a server from the motherboard up isn't a skill I have. Webster helped me a lot yesterday, but when I gave him all of my requirements, it was more than I wanted to spend...) Thanks! Regards, Michael B.
