    Help needed regarding PCI-e switch card

    Hi all,

    This is my first post here and hopeing someone might be able to help me with my problem.

    First off this is regarding a motherboard i bought last year Sapphire Crossfire PC-AM2RS790G
    I also bought a DFI motherboard which ive had nothing but problems with memory settings and so on, so i recently ripped my computer apart and installed my sapphire mobo.

    Everythings working a beut. got my DDR2 1066 memory working great which is why im using the sapphire instead of the DFI mobo.

    Well guys heres my problem, during a move to a new flat i lost my original box for the sapphire mobo and stupidy it had this PCI Express Switch card which u use in one of the PCI-e slots if ur only using one gfx card so the 1st PCI-e slot runs at x16 instead of x8.

    I read alot on various forums including Hexus and generaly ppl say that it doesnt make much of a difference.

    I just bought myself a new gfx card a MSI 6870 Twin Frozr which im very happy with, nice upgrade from my old 4770 heh.

    Well the thing is i would very much like to get hold of this PCI-E switch card just so i got everything complete and the bus lane will run at x16 instead of x8. ive tried everything i can but as i lost its original box ive also lost my invoice and i dont remember where i bought the damn thing from so i cant contact any1 for a replacement

    Any suggestions guys? any help would be great

    Best bet would just try to be honest and say you've genuinely lost the invoice and box and hope they send it out to you for free. If not then see if you can purchase it from them.
