Hello there. I am currently using an ASRock 4CoreDual-SATA2 motherboard.
I am looking at the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Professional PCI Express x1 sound card. However, my mobo doesn't have any PCI Express x1 slots; it only has an x16 slot running at x4 mode.
I was wondering, can I use it on that slot, or does the slot only accept graphics cards? I am happy with my current AGP graphics card, which is a VisionTek Radeon HD 2400 Pro. Most of the newest PCI Express graphics cards will not work in x4 mode after all.
FYI, my current sound card is a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Value (PCI). I have disabled the onboard audio through the BIOS.
