Buying soon... Need update.

It only has 1 pci so that takes care of my modem... can i get expansion cards or anything for pci xpress? or is that just for GPU's?

I will buy when the ocz goes on discount again? or is there better ram for the price?

you can get pci-e:
network cards
sound cards
capture cards
sata raid cards
etc.

Okay... There is only 1 pci-e on the evga board but why so is there 4 pci-e 2.0? do pci-e plug into one of those?

also whats a better latancy 7 or 8? OCZ gold are like 80 after mir right now. are they better or the same as the platinum?

EDIT: I just read I can plug a PCIe into a PCI E 2.0 even though they are not the same size. Is this true or false?

 

[Hefemeister]

you can plug a pci-e x1 or x4 into a x16 (the long) slots.

The lower the cas number the better. Hence cas7 is better.

Okay it is the ocz platinum then... I am going to wait a few days and see if the get a discount. I was correct in using google for that question then. So I will use the pci for my modem then i can buy accordingly for the pci e slots. thans a million for your help HEF. Kudos to you.

[overlord20]

[Hefemeister]
