Alright here is the problem, I have an ASrock Sock 775Dual-VSTA with one AGP 8x slot, and one PCIE slot, now I remember reading somewhere that it is an 16x slot. I also have a Geforce 8600 GTS PCIE graphics card, which doesn't say which speed it is running at for PCIE, my problem is, I know it should be running at 16x, but when I look at the system information through the Nvidia control panel, it says PCI Express x4, now how can I either 1. Change it to where it is supposed to be at, because I would imagine I would get a significant performance boost, or 2. Overclock?
Thanks for the help.

THE ABOVE SAYS THE AGP is 4x not the PCI-E If your bios is able yes, you could overclock the gpu but I don't think you'll need to......

That is my point, I'm not concerned about the AGP slot, I now have a PCIE card, and it should be running at PCIE 16x, but the Nvidia Control Panel reports only PCIE 4x, this should not be, and I can't figure out how to correct it.

Your motherboard only supports PCIE x4. Next time, check the specs.
