A week ago I bought a Gigabyte X38-DS5 motherboard.
Expansion slots:
1. 2 x PCI Express x16 slots supporting ATI CrossFire™ technology
(The PCI Express x16 slots conform to PCI Express 2.0 standard.)
2. 3 x PCI Express x1 slots
3. 2 x PCI slots
Since I plan to use this machine for video editing only I hanged onto my video card, NIVIDIA GeForce 7600GT, which of course is plugged into the top PCIe x16 slot.
I bought this mo-bo because I thought I needed a 2nd x16 PCIe slot for my Blackmagic Design Multibridge Extreme
At a time I didn't realise a 4lane would be enough.
Here is the dilemma.
I need to get a RADI controller card, to run a fibre channel disk array (or similar) - not sure which yet - this is where I am stuck at the moment.
1.) www.buymac.com.au/produc...channel-hba-pcie
2.) www.sonnettech.com/produ...po_sata_e4p.html
3.) any suggestions? Something cheaper?
Do they each demand a PCIe slot, 4 Lane ?
(I am judging it by the look of the card? I really don't know...)
What do I do?
Is there a RAID controller that works on slots I have left over?
Do I chuck out my video card and try and get a different, PCI slot card?! That doesn't make sense...
Guess I am not understanding the expansion slot number 2 (above), the 3 x PCI Express x 1 slots? What are they for? They are so tiny, I haven't seen a card that goes into those things?
Any info would be greatly appreciated
