Greatings to everyone.I have a radeon x1900 gt which is a 16x pci-e card and asus p5nd2-sli mother board which supports 16x pci-e if you install only one graphic card.But when i look in catalyst control center it reports that card is working under pci-e 1x.In the cpu-z it also reports that link width is only 1x pci-e while it supports 16x pci-e.How can i set my card to work in 16x pci-e.Can anyone help me please?

Check your motherboard manuel, for proper PCI-e settings in BIOS.

After you return from visiting the ASUS website; Run a virus scan and Windows Malicisous Removal Tool. Their site was hacked and links users to a bad download.

200mhz will not be that big of deal performance wise...It could be power saving...
Reset your bios/cmos using the MB Jumper..see if that resets your motherboard to stock. Is your CPU rated at 3.0? or 2.8? You can always OC...which is what we love to do around here!
