pci-e x16 ver 1.0a mobo
i have a mobo with a pci-e x16 slot ver 1.0a
was wondering what would be the best graphic card for that mobo. i have a nividia 8400gs pci at present. presently looking at the zotac 240gt 512. that one has 128 memory interface. would it work with ver 1.0a pci-e slot. or is that version only 64 bit. __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4885 (20100221) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com |

Some of the newer mainboards use PCI-E 2.0 / 2.1 which I read is backwards compatible (???) as well. You didn't specify what you intend to do with the card; are you a gamer / video - photo editing / etc? HTH God Bless... :-) |

HTH the mobo is a biostar geforce6100-m9 no on board video. the pci-e x16 slot is ver 1.0a version. what i was thinking of doing was having both video card in the system. the 8400, being the main console display. the 240, being the display to a lcd tv. (by the hdmi) the system would be mostly for internet tv. both video card would be only one display on each. when i am not watching tv, was plaining to have the program folding@home runing on the 240 video card. __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4885 (20100221) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com |

And of the one I'm familiar with, the manufacturer supplied a BIOS update to fix it. Also the memory bus is an internal structure not related to the physical slot. You only ever have to worry about it when buying a decent card (higher bus bandwidth is always better). |
