I have a Shuttle SG31G2 that has an Intel G31/ICH7 chipset, one PCI slot, and one 16x PCI Express slot. I want to add a better gigabit NIC to it, and the PCI slot is already in use by a SATA card. According to this this diagram of the chipset , the x1...

However, the problem is if the PCI-Express slot.

Initially I'd say there's no real difference between the PCI-Express slots and as long as it fits there's no problem.

Yes, it works just fine, obviously it's only work....
PCI-E x16 card will only go in a x16 slot .
PCI-E x4 card will go in a x4 or x16 slot .
Yes it is backwards compatable:
PCI-E x1 card will go in a x1, x4 or x16 slot .
Yes, PCIe is backwards compatible.

I'm trying to figure out whether my system supports PCI Express without opening up the box. lspci doesn't mention "Express" or "PCI-e" anywhere, but dmesg reports that a "PCI Express Hot Plug Controller Driver" is in use.

Simple, but works!
One thing to note is if your machine has a 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x PCI-E port and then buy the appropriate hardware... .
Easiest thing you can do is restart the machine and write down the model number then Google it and look up the specification .

Definitely not ....
No it will not, PCI-X and PCI-E are very different hardware devices .
Let us know what model of disk array you have and we'll try to find you something that will work .
No it won't work, they're physically and electrically incompatible.

You can get PCIe-x1 variants....
I'd suggest just buying one with DisplayPort out (since you said you've found some) and buy a fairly cheap ($20CAD) DisplayPort to DVI adapter (since they're essentially the same) and throw your DVI to VGA adapter on the end .

I find that entry in the memory allocation list of my computer (Workstation -> Device Manager -> View -> Resource by Type). It takes up 256MB of RAM and I'm wondering what's it good for.

From this Intel document
Root Port: A PCI Express Port, on a Root Complex, that maps a portion of the PCI Express.
Intel 945g pci express” is your motherboard, but no idea what is port 2771.

I'm wondering about the fact, that PCI architecture is hierarchical. Therefore, even if I have two PCIx4 slots, it's possible that I will not be able to fully utilize it, because the slots will connect in one node, which can have bandwidth insufficient...

In general the PCIe layout of a machine is dictated by the chipset, and if you can find a diagram from Intel or whoever you... .
At this point DDR2 can comfortably handle the data rate of 10Gbe .
Each PCIe (v1) lane should comfortably handle 2 x 1Gbe links .

My mobo has a PCI Express x4 (x8 Connector) spare currently and I need a low power useless graphics card to go in it to give me a 3rd output to power a 3rd 2407 dell screen - anyone know what i could drop into it to make this happen? (preferably nVidia...

You could put in a GT 520 or 430, PCI-E x4 slots have open backs so full size PCI-E cards will work, just with reduced speed or something .

Hey guys, I was Wondering about the Radeon HD 7970. It says it requires PCI Express 3.0 but I can't seem to find a motherboard with a slot for it Unless they just go in the 2.0 slots (with an adapter maybe) Could anybody fill me in on what PCI Express...

You don't NEED a 3.0 slot (plus they're not out yet in a 3.0 slot rather than a 2.0 or 2.1 One day PCI Express 3.0 will be available on consumer motherboards, it's just not out....
PCI express cards are all backwards compatible.
