    Hi all, I've been having some fps issues in World of Warcraft and i'm finally tired of it and set out to figure out why.

    I did some searching and found that if my PCI-E is running at x1 it would cause this problem. I downloaded GPU-Z to check the BUS speed and it indeed said it was x1.

    I logged into the BIOS to try and change it, but I couldn't find a menu for it anywhere at all.

    I installed nTune to check as well but didn't see an obvious setting for it.

    Computer Specs:
    CPU:
    Intel Pd 930 3.00ghz

    Motherboard:
    AsusTeK P5ND2-SLI Rev A1
    bios rev 0501

    Graphics Interface:
    Version PCI-Express, Link Width: x1, Max Supported x16 (nvidia 8600gt)

    Is there some way I can change the BUS speed to x16 or is this some motherboard limitation that i'm reading wrong? Everywhere I've checked its said that the motherboard is x16.

    I opened the case and the slot is labelled as PCIEx16
