I noticed on windows startup in the nVidia display page, that my bus
speed says PCI Express x8, how can i change this to PCI Express x16?

Thank you!

I have an A8N-SLI myself and thought that the default setting was x16.
Do you think your vid card would run faster? Just curious. Could you
report your findings back to this NG?

I would assume that it is a BIOS setting.

Is your selector card set to SLI mode? If so then each PCI Express x16
slot only gets x8 bus width. In non-SLI mode the first slot should get
x16 and the other gets x1.

No, I set my BIOS to NON-SLI Mode and the bus still reports x8 PCI
Express NOT x16 which i thought it should. This was with Bios BETA
1003-002 and 004 just came out so im going to play with that.
