Hello everyone I am knew but I had a small issue with my motherboard.

 

Firstly I got it for free from a friend and all and all its a sweet board but after running GPU-z it shows my GPU at x8 vs x16.

 

PC Specs
X2 5400+ @ 3.2ghz
4x 1GB G-skill DDR2800
2x 500GB Seagate HDs
1x 8800GT 512mb GPU
vx750w Corsair PSU (got it for 50 bucks ^-^)

 


It is a SLI board and I don't have a second GPU hooked in. Its runs at x8 in SLI mode but I can't get x16 from it when not in SLI on a single GPU.

 


Here is a screenshot of gpu-z

Any ideas as to why?

 


Also I was reading and one guy said that X2s can only run 2x DDR2 800 memory but underclock it to 667 after 2GB sticks is this true?
