Hey guys,
Sorry if this is a noob question:
I'm looking at getting a Mobo with 2 PCI express slots so I can add another ATI 4870 at some point in the future. Most of the Gigabyte ones I'm interested in say that the 2nd PCI express slot runs at 8x not 16x like the first one? Is this usual or should I be looking for a better mobo.
My planned system minus mobo is:
Intel Q6600
4gb OCZ DDRII 1066mhz RAM
500gb Samsung SATAII HDD
MSI HD4870
Antec Sonata Plus ATX with 550w PSU
Samsung 20x DVD drive
Zalman 9500A Cooler
Thanks for any advice!
