Hi,

I want to buy GA-EX38-DS4 MB.
GA-EX38-DS4 has two pci-e x16 slots, I'm planning to use only one video card but because of space issues I want to place it in second pci-e x16 slot and leave first one empty, possible ?
(I had x brand motherboard which stated - if I don't use sli I must put vga card in first slot otherwise it won't work )

thanks
Vilius

according to the manual both slots are identical and it should not be a problem.
