Hy there
I realy don't know if this is the place to get an answer for my question or not , but here goes: I have an ASUS M4A79XTD EVO Motherboard. I'm wondering if it can support a video card with PCI express 3.0 ?
The last thing: my expansion slots are:
2 x PCIe 2.0 x16 , support ATI CrossFireX™ technology (at one x16 or dual x8 link)
2 x PCIe x1
2 x PCI 2.2
So can it suport or no?
Here's a link about the motherboard: www.asus.com/Motherboard/M4A79XTD_EVO/#overview

Thanks

I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception.

Don't look now but there's one man too many in this room and i think it's you.

The card will run at 2.0 speeds though, so you will lose a bit of performance.

Oh and Don't forget some tuts on ASM and defeating DMA
