Default What the heck is the diff between PCI and PEG ?

* johns:

PEG is called PCI Express Graphics, and I have 2
selections in my mobo BIOS ... PCI or PEG ???


PEG (PCI Express Graphics) - generic PCI Express 16x slot (called PEG
because only gfx cards need the 16x bandwith)

The selection in the BIOS setup is for choosing the primary display
adapter if you have more than one gfx card in your computer (with one
PEG slot you can have one PCI Express gfx card and one PCI gfx card).
That's the same like the "AGP"/"PCI" setting in the BIOS setup of
AGP-based computers which also was there for choosing the primary gfx
adapter. If you only have one gfx card this setting is irrelevant.

I wonder why someone who claimed to develop drivers for Nvidia and doing
administration of dozens of PCs for a company doesn't even know the
most basic things. But then, you're bull****ter-johns.
