Re: The worst motherboard I have ever owned...
In short, there is no way to use a dual-slot graphics card in x16 and make use of the PCIe lanes on the north bridge. It might not be a real problem: see what happens with an HD5870. Don't waste your time or money on this motherboard. Lots of mobos (expecially supposed hi-end ones) turn out to be p...

I was checking up on upgrades.. I could vomit. Which is why I wrote that frustration post recently. The thing about the 6 core AMD that would concern me is its TDP.
