2.4.3.1 PCIe x16 Bus Overview
The Intel® Q965 northbridge has on 16-lane PCIe port that is intended for an external
PCIe graphics card. The PCIe x16 graphics card is installed on a compatible PICMG 1.3
backplane and interfaced to the northbridge through the two golden fingers shown in
Figure 2-5 . Note that the 16 lanes of the PCIe x16 northbridge bus are connected to two
golden fingers.

2.4.3.2 PCIe x16 Expansion Options
The PCIe x16 can be interfaced to either one PCIe x16 graphics card or a single PCIe x1
expansion card on a compatible PICMG 1.3 backplane.
2.4.3.3 PCIe x16 Bus Specifications
The PCIe port is compliant with the PCI Express* Base Specification revision 1.1. The
PCIe x16 port operates at a frequency of 2.5 Gb/s on each lane while employing 8b/10b
encoding; the port supports a maximum theoretical bandwidth of 40 Gb/s in each
direction. Some of the features are listed below.
One, 16-lane PCIe port intended for graphics attach, compatible to the PCI
Express* Base Specification revision 1.1a.
PCI Express frequency of 1.25 GHz resulting in 2.5 Gb/s each direction
