Is this a bug?

It's a 8800GTS in the first available PCI-E slot, which is supposed to be x16?

It's a known bug and there's a fix. Though me being particularly useless, I can't remember what the fix was

edit: quick search suggests flashing to the latest bios for the p5b deluxe will help, and failing that, increasing PCI-E frequency by 1 to 5mhz.

Lol, drop it down a touch and see if that fixes it.

ive set it to 1.45 and pci-e is reporting x16 now, it was the fact it was on auto that was the problem
