PCI-e Link Width
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
First of all, hi everyone ![:hello:]( ":hello:")
Since I managed to screw up my first (detailed post) and never got it posted, here comes the short of the long.
I am trying to make my PCI-e Link Width to be x16 instead of x4 as it is at the moment.
I have been searching for the past 5 hours, through forums and the internet, to no avail
Sure there are maaaaaaaany explanations out there, but none that I can comprehend.
Can someone please tell me if there is an "easy" way of fixing this? (I am not afraid to mess with BIOS, etc.)
My MB is a: 4CoreDual-VSTA
My GraphicsCard is: Geforce 7950 GT OC
And according to RivaTuner it does support up to x16
ANY help appreciated.
Thanks in advance

More about : pci link width
That motherboard only supports PCIe at 4x speed max. This is due to it being a dual slotted board, it supports AGP as well. At 4x you might as well be running AGP, hell.
