Possibly a silly question, but as the physical dimensions of an 8x slot looks pretty similar to a 16x slot, can one use a 16x card in the 8x slot?
I realise that an 8x slot has half the number of pins (or whatever the term is) of a 16x slot, but I think I read, in that most trusted of sources;somewhere that most cards do not use all the bandwidth provided by a 16x slot.
Any experiences, thoughts?
yes they will work
