graphics card solution?
Is there a way to fit a PCI-E x16 card into a PCI-E x1 slot by modding the card or the slot? I know all the drawbacks of using this in x1 but I just need to know if it will work in x1 if i maybe saw through the wall of the slot to allow the card to fit or just break off some pins from the card to navigate around the slot. It's an inexpinsive HD 2400 Pro that is $30 as PCE-E x16 and $60 as PCI. Also as PCI-E x1 has twice the bandwidth of a PCI slot anyways it will be a much better performer there. So will this work or not? If removing the pins from the card will work its ok its staying in this computer for as long as we keep it and not goin in any other.

That won't work. The card was designed for a pci-e x16 slot, not x1.

HAHAHA, please try it. And let me know how much it cost to replace the card and the motherboard after it asplodes.
By the way, they make x1 video cards.
Also, where did you get the idea that x1 has more bandwidth than x16?
