From the manual of the Lenovo M93p (http://content.etilize.com/User-Manual/1029184064.pdf):
The motherboard has 3 PCI Express slots:
- a "PCI Express x16 graphics card slot"
- a "PCI Express x1 card slot"
- and a "PCI Express card slot (physical link width x16; negotiable link width x4, x1)"
My question is, what is the difference if any between the first and the third slot?
Why does it have to specify "negotiable link width x4, x1" for the third slot if it is happening for the first slot anyway (if I understand it correctly) since you can just plug x1 and x4 cards into an x16 slot?
Will there be any problem using an x16 graphic card in the third slot?
