What the heck is the diff between PCI and PEG ?
PEG is called PCI Express Graphics, and I have 2
selections in my mobo BIOS ... PCI or PEG ??? The mobo is for Core 2 Duo, and the video card is a BFG 8800 GT/GTO. Default setting seems to be PCI, and I left it that way. System runs fine. I benched Aquamark3D at 151,233 .. plenty fast. johns |

What the heck is the diff between PCI and PEG ?
here is an explanation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periphe...t_Interconnect in your case the "PEG' just stands for PCI EXPRESS......Whereas PCI an handle more than Video...but so can PCI-E nowadays The Connectors are different ...that 8800 you use is a PCI-E card and would not fit in a PCI slot. By setting your mobo to PCI just means that the BIOS will look for a Video card on the PCI slot 1st and finding none will then look at the PCI-E slot. peter -- DISCLAIMER: If you find a posting or message from me offensive, inappropriate, or disruptive, please ignore it.

Jargon mongers. Wonder why they just don't
call it PCI or PCIE ? Would make more sense, and not seem to imply something weird. Thanks. johns |

* 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.

What the heck is the diff between PCI and PEG ?
In my history of 10,000 mobos, I have never seen the
term PEG used in the BIOS .. until now, with this Core 2 duo mobo. Obviously, PEG is just jargon, and they had no valid reason to put this crap in the BIOS .. other than they are an arrogant pack of morons trying to impress those out there who think jargon is the same thing as knowledge. I see you know all about PEG. I will simply pick up the phone, and chew Gigabyte tech-support out, and make them change it to PCIE. johns |

The choices in BIOS are PEG/PCI and PCI/PEG. The problem is that they don't explain the meaning of PEG on the manual page for those settings. Maybe they thought it would be too confusing to use PCIE/PCI. |

PEG is an standardized term and can be found in the PCI Express specifications. and they had no valid reason to put this crap in the BIOS .. other than they are an arrogant pack of morons trying to impress those out there who think jargon is the same thing as knowledge. You speaking about knowledge is like a blind man speaking of colors. I see you know all about PEG. I will simply pick up the phone, and chew Gigabyte tech-support out, and make them change it to PCIE. Yeah, sure. Next you tell us that you develop their BIOSes, right? Benjamin |

Maybe they thought it would be too confusing to use PCIE/PCI. No. The reason for using the term "PEG" simply is because some standard mobos support gfx only in the PEG slot and not in all PCIe slots.
