This is the board:
GA-M61VME-S2
On the gigabyte website it lists these for the expansion slot:
1 PCI Express x 16 slot (Note 2)
1 PCI Express x 1 slot
2 PCI slots
Then it also says this:
(Note 2) The GA-M61VME-S2 supports up to PCI Express x1 mode. (please refer to the VGA cards support list)
What does this mean? Does it mean it wont support X16 cards? It list cards that are pci express X16 as compatible. Im confused as to why it has a X16 slot if it cant use it properly. I am wanting to get a video card for this, but I need to know if it will support X16 pci express cards. If it will run these cards what would be a great card that will play most games while being somewhat affordable.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide me.
