Hi All,
I have an old R610 that I am trying to help someone use. Unfortunately the build in Matrox video card that ships with these can only do resolutions up to 1280 and is pretty terrible to use for a basic PC.
I'm looking at trying to add a cheap video card but only see that there are PCI x1 slots. I have a x16 video card here and would like to use it but I also see that the expansion modules for this model only go up to a x8. So I am thinking of getting a x1 to x16 converter, ripping out the second expansion slot and running the cable across.
This is what I was thinking of getting

If you have any other creative ideas I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Nick
