Sorry for the double post. Kept the Mark 2 :) Will add a PCIe M.2 Adapter card later in the future when I get my SSD :)

Well, that is why originally I was thinking of getting the ASUS Hyper M.2 X4 card so I could upgrade to a M.2 SSD and connect it to my spare PCIe x4 card. No return shipping. I will just place a return pickup request. They'll pick it up. By the way, I will be gaming on this PC, might do SLI...

Hi guys, I already bought the Z97 Sabertooth Mark 2, but I have the option of returning it and getting the Z97-Pro (Wifi). Only reason the Z97-Pro (wifi) is an option is coz am getting a very good price on it with only a difference of say $10 or $15. I don't really care about the wifi...

Thanx so much for all the replies guys. This is great :D By the way, my motherboard arrived a day late and it missed out on my weekly off, so couldn't assemble the PC :( I have another weekly off this Sunday, so will be assembling the PC this weekend :D Will post here how it goes :)

Yes, not in favor of manually unplugging the card and replugging it every now and then. I would prefer keeping it plugged and manually removing the power pin from the card or since I have a modular power supply, unplugging the power supply from the PSU itself. And may be disabling the PCI-E in...

Wow, thanx a lot for all the input guys :D Like Seba said, I'll just have to test it out and see how much my inverter lasts with this newer addition of GPU :) If it works and my inverter gives acceptable hours of backup, then no problem at all, but if it shuts my PC down, then I'll have to...

I would so love to do that :D but I can't take any risks. My livelihood depends on it :) Might as well get a laptop later in the future :) Thanx a lot for the info. I actually went through the D945GCNL manual and it said and I quote... If I manage to get my hands on a 4x card on trial...

Hi, Thanx for the input. By the way, my x16 port is empty and not used since I already have on-board graphics, so my next query is... Do you think my speeds will increase or support more drives if I get a USB 3.0 PCIe x4 card like this one...

Hi guys, I did a site-wide Google search before posting my query here but couldn't find proper answers. I have an Intel D945GCNL mobo and just now downloaded it's tech specs from Intel's website, which shows that my mobo has... • One PCI Express* x1 bus add-in card connector • One PCI...
