Hi,

I am interested in this board. It claims to have:

2 PCI slots
1 PCI-e x1 slot
1 PCI-e x16 slot

Unless I'm mistaken, that adds up to 4 slots of PCI-type. In all
pictures I have seen of this board there appears to be only 3 slots.

Is one of the slots "dual purpose"? Can I install 4 cards (of the
relevent type) at the same time?

Thanks in advance

The 'x1' connector, is _tiny_. This type of PCI-E connector is only about
25mm long. The board has this as the bottom connector, then two PCI slots,
then the PCI-E x16 connector, which would normally be used for the video
card.

Best Wishes
