PCI Express 2.0 x16 and PCI Express x1 question?
If I have, say a video card that requires a PCI Express x1 will it still function correctly if I plug it in to a PCI Express 2.0 x16? Same thing with a sound card?
You may think you're stating exact nomenclature but you're not.
PCI-Express comes in two different slot sizes, that are used now.
1.PCI-Express x1. This slot is 36 pins long.
2.PCI-Express x16. This slot is 164 pins long. Therefore if a graphics card is PCI-E 2.0, it won't fit in a PCI-Express x1 slot.PCI-Express x16, means it has 16 Lanes for Data communication.
There are two forms of PCI-Express used now.
PCI-Express 1.1, and PCI-Express 2.0
There was PCI-Express 1.0, but it had inherent problems, hence the 1.1 version came out. PCI-E 2.0 is backward compatible with a PCI-E 1.0 slot also, but some PCI-E 2.0 cards may not work.A PCI-Express 2.0 graphics card will work in a motherboard that has a PCI-Express 1.1 version slot. Again, this has to be the PCI-Express x16 slot with 164 pins.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI-Express (Scroll down, and read under the PCI-Express 2.0 heading.)I would think your sound card would go in a PCI slot, or PCI-Express x1 slot.
