[QUOTE="Shripad, post: 470954, member: 272"] ^^ who says so? You can jolly well put a graphic card is a slot thats X8 electrical or even X4 electrical and it will boot and work fine. With X8 you wont even notice much performance difference. With X4, top of the line cards will degrade in performance. I was able to boot with my card in any of the 3 PCI express slots on P35 and same on X38 board that i have. The question is not if but how it will work. It will work but with degraded performance.
