[ubuntu-studio-users] PCIe

[Cyril Giraud]

Number of lanes negotiated for each PCIe slot depends of chipset on the 
PCIe card, but also of motherboard routing and chipset (lanes could be 
shared and assigned at power on).
Quite difficult to get data about that from motherboard builders... The 
best is to try, but sometimes we hope to know before ;-)
