Hi there.
I really need some help from some of you that has better knowledge about motherboards and such than I have.
I have a Dell Precision 470, from 2005, with two Intel Xeon 3.8 Ghz, 12 Gb single rank pc3200 Dell ram, 120 Gb ssd OS hard drive, a MSI Nvidia Geforce GTX 650 Ti Boost 2gb video card and freshly windows 7 64 bit installed.
The motherboard model is 0P7996
and it looks like this:

Expansion Slot(s)
PCI_E_1 (1h) : PCIe x16 +3.3V PME (USED BY THE VIDEO CARD MSI GTX GEFORCE 650) Number 15 on the picture
PCI_2 (2h) : PCI 32-bit +5V +3.3V PME (NOT IN USE AS THE GTX 650 covers the slot) Number 14 on the picture.
PCI_E_3 (3h) : PCIe x4 +3.3V PME (THIS IS WHERE I PUT THE TV CARD) Number 13 on the picture.
PCI_X_4 (4h) : PCI-X 64-bit +3.3V PME (USED BY FIREWIRE CARD) Number 11 on the picture.
Everything works like a charm, is real fast, and is actually still a powerful system.
The other day I bought a ATI TV Wonder HD 750 pcie card, that will fit in the x4 slot. (No. 13 on the motherboard picture)
But when I put the ATI TV card in the x4 slot and starts up the machine, the whole system seems to slow down to half the speed.
Everything lags, and things take up to four times longer to open and process.
I took out the TV card, and everything was fine again.
I previously used a similar firewire card in the pcie slot, instead of the TV card, and then
nothing like this happened.
Is there something in the BIOS, (A07) that I have forgotten or could adjust?
Or is this just the motherboard that simply cannot run one card on x16 speed and another at x4 simultaneously,
and therefor lets everything go at x4 speed?
I really would want to be able to use this Tv card as well, but right now it all seems dark.
