noob here with probably a duplicate question...
Many mobo's out there describe the dual 16x pcie slots as 8x in sli mode. is this true for all sli mobo's? are there some where both 16x slots are running the full 16x in sli mode? either way what component limits the 16x speed. is it the chipset?
my projected setup for building my first rig Q1 2008:
Q6600 with heatsink/ duct setup
2 8800GT's in sli
1 150Gig raptor X- purchased
pcp&c 750 quad- purchased
mobo/ram- still researching
Thanks for your input, jart
