| Need a new Graphics card question about PCi slots My Nvidia 9800 series graphic card has finally given up the ghost, will not load drivers for some reason, even old ones. What I need to know is I see there is PCi-Express 2, 2.1, and 3.0 I have a ASUS M2N4-SLI motherboard, AMD X64 5600 CPU, Win8 etc. The description of the PCi Slots are as follows:
2 x PCI Express x16 slot with NVIDIA® SLI™ technology support, at x8, x8 speed
2 x PCI Express x1
2 x PCI 2.2
Which PCI card type can I use PCI 2, 2.1, 3.0 ??
This PC is getting somewhat long in the tooth but I would like to keep it going for a little longer.
Thanks in advance.

I could not remember what is was from when I owned the same board but looking here:
»reviews.cnet.com/motherboards/as···310.html
quote:
2.0 x PCI Express x16 - Socket AM2 ( SLI: x8, x8 mode; single card: x16, x1 mode ),
2.0 x Memory - DIMM 240-pin,
4.0 x Processor,
1.0 x PCI Express x1,
2.0 x PCI

| Time for a new system, I managed to get it going the driver upgraded but the screen was dark and flashing so you could not see what was going on I waited a 1/2 an hour and rebooted and everything was OK. Now I can spend my money on a new ASUS based system
