PCI-e slots

[ProfLayton]

I have been looking for a decent mobo (and one that won't break my wallet) for my first dedicated miner.
I found a well priced mobo with 4 PCI-e slots, but I am unsure exactly what the specifics mean (new-ish to custom built computers).
PCI Express 2.0 x16: 4 (x16, x16, x4, x4)
What does the "x4, x4" part entail?

Thanks

It's the bandwidth available to the PCIe lane. As far as mining is concerned, it doesn't matter. Even 1x lanes are perfectly fine.


And the link you posted doesn't appear to go anywhere.

You can mine on either x1, x4, x8, or x16. x16 is pretty much the standard for videocards these days. But you hook up a videocard into a x1 slot using a PCIe x1 to x16 extender.
