Re: 3ware 9650SE success - D945GTP note

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Quoting David Thompson <thomas@xxxxxxxxxxx>:

Yes, the 9650SE runs on an Intel D945GTP in the PCIe x16 slot.  However, the
technical reference for the D945GTP motherboard clearly states, on page 61 of
D1407001US-1.pdf, topic 2.8.2.2 "Add-in Card Connectors", (quoted):

"NOTE: The PCI Express x16 connector is configured to support only a PCI
Express x1 link when the Intel GMA950 graphics controller is enabled."

Hmmmm.... I'm wondering what would happen if you put cheap PCIe graphics card into 1x connector, and RAID card into 16x connector (thus, the onboard video would be disabled and 16x PCIe connector would be in 16x mode). I don't have much experience with PCIe. Is something like that possible? Is it possible to stick 16x card into 1x slot?
