PCI Express....

[otguk]

Hi all,

I have just been ask to build a PC with a PCI Express card, they want to use Asus K8N-E Deluxe, will this board take a PCI Express card?.... as I have just seen a review that said PCI Expresss = none!

I though they could be used in any new board, may need an adaptor but they would work?

Ta for reading.

--Edit--
Seems that the board does not take PCI-E....

Shame would have like to have offered a Nforce3 board.... more searching.

You need (for Athlon 64 anyhow) a Socket 939 board, also called Nforce 4 (though there is others).

P4 boards also do PCI Express which again is a newer socket for the CPU..

NFORCE3 boards are all from my checking on the net Socket 754 which all feature AGP x 8 instead.

Yeah, the person needs to use AMD64 as their platform, as the intel solutions are almost non-existant.

And as Demonic said, you need the nForce 4. Performance-wise, it's pretty much the same as the Nf3, except with the benefits of PCI-Express.

However, Nf4 boards are pretty costly, last i checked.

The board isn't that great for overclocking compared to what you can get, but OC'ing shouldn't be an issue for your pc business.

Ta was just looking at them.... plus I think the order could be kept to under £500....

Cheap case or mid range emmmm....... or one out of the shed, no joking really, I am.
