I was just going through my gfx card settings and see this.

Is that right? Isn't that suppose to say x16; my motherboard is a Asus P5VD1-X and the graphics card is a Leadtek 7600 GT.

If it's not normal any ideas how to correct that?

That looks to be normal. Look at your manual. The specs says: PCI-E x16 (max x4 mode).

Hmm your right I found it now; is there a big difference than this running at 2GB/s and whatever x16 runs at? performance wise.

I don't really understand it.
