PEG slots

What is a PEG slot?
 
I ran a system scan and it says its a PCI express 32x slot. Its in use. Whats using it? Can I use this for a graphics card?
 
I think the answer is going to be no, but thought i'd ask.

Never heard of a 32x pci-express slot.  16x or 1x  8x yes, but not 32x 
 
 
You have a Dim 3100 computer.  You can only install a PCI slot video card or a 1X PCI-Express video card.  All of which are low end, but better than the integrated video chip you are now experiencing with.  Get a PCI slot card ( Not a 16x PCI-Express nor AGP card ) for your system or perhaps a 1X PCI-Express card.

There is a provision for a 32X PCI Express slot in the PCI Express standard, but it's not common (yet).

I suspect the poster means a 32-bit PCI slot, which is a completely different thing.

Was this post helpful?
