Hi, I have this board which has integrated graphichs, Nvidia 6100. The manual says PCI Ex16 graphics slot actually works on x8 mode. Is this a problem? Is PCI ex16 slot working like old AGP slot? Do I have any problem when I upgrade my graphics? (like x1650xt, hd 2400xt or hd 2600xt) Thanks forward...

some specifications of my computer:

AMD Athlon 64 x 2 4000+ Brisbane
Gigabyte GA-M61SME-S2
2 x 1 Gb DDR2 667 Mhz Kingston
Samsung 160 Gb Sata hd
Cooler Master eXtreme power 380W PSU

I know that list. I have it on the manual. It doesn't help when it comes to newer graphics card like hd 2400 xt or hd 2600 xt. Or generally speaking behaviour of PCI ex16 express slot works on x8 mode and adaptability of PCI ex graphics card in that slot. So I'm curiously waiting.

A PCI-Express x16 card should be backwards compatible and work in a x8 environment.
AGP=66 MHZ. PCI-Express=100 MHZ.
