Ok guys so I got the EVGA 7900 GT Superclocked and when I installed it. This is what I get in RivaTuner "$000000000f PCIE link width : 16x supported, 4x selected". So does anyone know how to change the PCIe to 16x. Pleas help me

You cant. The board has a PCIe lite slot.

The combo Agp/Pci-e VIA PT880 Pro chipset board only supports PCI Express X4 mode slot.
 
^^ Dipdude's right. You better upgrade to a proper PCIe X16 board to utilise your card's power properly..:)
 
Awww damn it. I'm kind of a noob at thoes things so when I readi that it supports PCIe 16x I got it. So hher is the thing can u suggest me a motherboard that will support the PCIe 16x, I will be able to put my processor (Intel Pentium 4 3.2GHz (800FSB) Prescott CPU with Hyper-Threading) in it, and my Ram ( 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM System Memory) (link http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16820145525) for a good price ( meaning cheap :) )

Oh and yeah first of all does it make a big diffrence if I will get he PCIe 16x is it worth a switch. as I said I got the EVGA 7900 GT superclocked (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130282)

So what do you guys suggest?????
 
hmmm I'm running the card right now 3dmark05 is 5700, but if u guys say it's necessary i will upgrade

I will make sure to check the dimensions for the motherboard tommorow / when i wake up later tonight and than i will choose and probablly order the card..... I will ask u guys later which one u reccomend from my 3-4 choices :)
 
Probablly low because I'm running the card on a pcie 4x instead of 16x.....

I already chcecked the sice o a mobo that will fit in the case and here are my choices that I can afford

So what you guys say. Which one should I got for???
 
The link you had given does mention the PCIe Lite slot can be upgraded to a 16x slot but doesnt mention anything about it. Can you check in the manual? For some reason the pdf doesnt get downloaded from the ECS site.
 
nope doesn't mention about anything. Would i be able to change that in Bios or Raid or maybe something else.

Besides which mobo I lissted would you get???
