Running in PCIE x8?!  Last response: in Graphics & Displays  Ok,
so I recently switched out my Intel 925 motherboard for an ASUS
P5N-E SLI. On the Intel 925, my 8800GTS 640mb ran in PCIE x16.
But, when I put it on the P5N-E, my control panel says it's
running in PCIE x8.  The ASUS P5N-E SLI is known for its
notorious dual-card function to disable and enable SLI, as shown
in this picture:  Right now, it's "supposedly" set for single-
card setup.  This is what CPU-Z is telling me:  I've mailed ASUS
and all they told me to do was to update the BIOS...but I
already have the latest, so I just reflashed the BIOS
and...nothing. Still running at 8x.  Nvidia Control Panel is
also recognizing it in x8, and in a non-SLI setup.  (Oh, and
when I was setting up my computer, I noticed a little chip on
the connector. Seems like one of them had its connector half
gone, but it still works, and it seems like most PCIE x16 cards
have the same chipped connector. Hmm...) H
