Greetings.
I am considering a ESPRIMO P5915 as a hardware test platform. For this I need a PCI Express slot which is at least "x8". Thus a x16 slot of the D2312 motherboard in the ESPRIMO P5915 fits the bill.
However, in the motherboard info I read that the x16 is "for a graphics card".
Hence the question: can I use the x16 slot as a general-purpose PCI Express slot?
I know that in general, PCI Express slots should be interchangeable (provided physical connectors match), but I want to know if there is some specific issue with D2313 that would prevent a general-purpose card to operate in this particular slot.
