Hey

I just installed my 7800GT and I was running CPU-Z to check my stats.. and I noticed under Graphic Interface in the main board table is says:

link width x2 max supported x16..

what does this mean? Am i not running at the best connection?

THanks

Where in the bios does it allow me to change the PCIE settings.. I looked but couldnt find it.. how do I run benchmarks?

For the benchmark, just go grab 3DMark. As for the settings, just crack open the box and check what slot your card is in, it sounds like you're plugged in to the secondary slot for when you're using SLI(but in this case don't have SLI mode enabled).
