Mobo Slots

nepts2 · 03-27-2007, 02:32 AM

Hi.

Do you know if there's a way to add an extra PCI 16x slot on GA-965P-S3?
I have a VGA that is SLI enabled but my mobo has only 1 pci.

Also, do you recommend buying a LAN card for 965P?

Thank you.

No to both questions, you have to have a chipset on the motherboard that supports SLI, the DS3 doesn't have a chipset that supports it.

Why would you want a LAN card for it? It already has a Gigabit 10/100/1000 onboard port.

If you ever want to go down the SLI route, buy a EVGA 680i motherboard. Yes, it has the same overclockability as the S3 and DS3

Dang...
I bought new parts just 6 days ago.

I would have to wait at least an year to get a new part.
