    Can someone enlighten me please,
    Will a PCIEX1 card operate in a PCIEX8 or 4 slot, If I put my graphics card in PCIEX16_1 slot as recommended by the Graphics card vendor it blanks off my PCIEX1 slot which I need.
    Thanks

    Yes usually, as in all the pins match up but you may run into problems depending on the motherboard brand, nothing will be damaged trying though.
