using PCIe x16 slots for two different devices? 1

[Ovatvvon]

Hi everyone,

Quick question:

If a motherboard, such as the "ASUS RAMPAGE FORMULA (x48)" has two PCIe x16 slots, and I want to use both slots, do they have to be two SLI video cards working together? Or, can I use one for a video card, and the other for a disk controller card to setup a RAID?

You can use one for the VID and the other for the RAID...

There is no restriction, other then the form factor...
