Hey there,
I've just bought a new Creative T7900 sound system and a pci-e creative soundcard. Now i didnt realise until after the items had been dispatched that i didnt have any x1 pci-e slots! I've got a 4coredual-sata2 asrock motherboard which only has a pci-express graphics slot (which i believe is 4x or 8x). Now as im using the AGP slot on the motherboard for the graphics, would there be any way that i could use the pci-e gfx slot for the sound card as i've heard that 1x cards will work in the faster slots. The problem I have is if I can use this pci-e slot while using my agp slot also. I've contacted ASrock support but they are slow as usual.
Anyone got any ideas or know if this is doable?
