Hey guys this is my first post here, and before people start flaming let me jus say that I did do a search on this and did not come up with anything useful so I am creating a new post...

I am currently configuring a RAID 5 server with the use of a Areca/Tekram ARC-1210 RAID Controller Card. Now this card is a PCIe x8. I wanted to know what motherboards support the use of "non-VGA" cards or "non-video" cards in their PCIe x16 slots...

Also if you are using this please tell me if the card is installed in the top PCIe or in the bottom PCIe slot. Also if you can, what BIOS version you are running.

I know that PCIe slots are supposedly "universal", in that if a card uses the PCIe connector it should work, but I have learned the hard way that that is not always true.

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out of this situation...

Jason
