Will a x1 PCI Express device work in a x4 PCI Express slot?
I have a TV Tuner card which is a X1 PCI Express, but that slot on my DFI SLI NF4 board is covered by the Dual Slot heatsink on my X1800XT card. So I've plugged it into the X4 slot above and it fits, but i'm not sue if its gonna work, and i dont wanna wreck the card by trying.
If anyone understands what i'm on about, could you help?
