OP OP C cldd5678 Baseband Member Messages 49 Mar 26, 2007 #3 No I'm asking the question of if it does? Look at the info on these links. http://cgi.ebay.com/ASUS-P5GZ-MX-FS...temZ250097783204QQcategoryZ1244QQcmdZViewItem http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16813131088 (second review on there) http://www.atacom.com/program/print_html_new.cgi?cart_id=8580932_66_122_195_5&Pagecode=1|MB77&Item_code=MB77_ASUS_75_20&USER_ID=www I have no clue. Some places say 4x and others say 16x. Any insight would be very VERY much appreciated.

Atomic Rooster Omnipotent One Messages 11,161 Location USA Mar 26, 2007 #7 Even the Asus P5GZ-MX page says "1 x PCI-E x16 @ x4 speed". I guess there's a limitation with the Intel 945GZ chipset used on that board that limits the available bandwidth of the PCI-E bus.
