thanks for your profile, i will give it a try.

Regarding the x16 vs x8 PCI slots, some time ago I read a couple of benchmark articles. The main conclusion was that 2 x 16 only make a "noticeable" difference when playing at very big resolutions (with 3 displays) and the performance was almost identical when playing at normal single display res like 1920x1200. i could not find the link now, but it is "out there".
