Never got a straight answer about this in all my years of messing with them. I haven't tried it myself because I didn't want to blow anything up. Particularly the hardware in this example scenario.
I need to ask,
Can I take a PCI-Express x4 expansion card (in this case, a RAID controller) and run it in a x16 slot?
Now, what I mean is not the primary video card slot, but if a board has more than one x16 slot, can I use that for lesser cards, or are the x16 ones strictly for video?
