Can I make this work? Asus P6T Deluxe V2 - vga/TVCard/X-Fi

[str33tb]

Hi there ppl. Some time ago I posted a thread asking for advice regarding a new rig. I chose all the parts but this time I need some opinions about the MoBo. Besides the gfx card I also need space to use 2 other devices, TV Card and X-Fi. The problem is that most motherboards don't allow to have all 3 working at the same time, either the slots are simply not there or they're occupied by the dual slot BFG GTX 275. There are some nice options out there that have room for everything like the Asus P6T Deluxe V2 and I would like to know if the 2nd x16 will work at x16 for real. Sorry for noobness!

kill the x-fi, you won't need it, realtek onboard sound on the mb is just as good, and is not as flaky

I just found that I can make it work, it will work either on default setting on a small change in bios to make it roll at x16x16x1. Admin, please delete this thread, thank you.
