zmatt The Bulldog Messages 4,660 Location In an empty Ramen packet Jun 22, 2007 #1 I was checking newegg and i noticed all the p35 boards cna only have one 16x slot the other is either 4x or 1x. Does the chipset not support dual 16?

OP OP zmatt The Bulldog Messages 4,660 Location In an empty Ramen packet Jun 22, 2007 #4 why don't they? don't older chipsets support it?
b1gapl Mod Emeritus Messages 13,044 Location USA Jun 22, 2007 #5 I don't know why, but the higher end X38 chipsets support 2xPCIe at x16.

It's like an alternative PCIe slot....and theres a variety of cards that use it...such as sound cards, RAID devices, even graphic cards..but low end.., network cards, etc...they're like upgraded PCI slots.
