How many PCI-E Lanes

How many PCI-E lanes does the Athlon X2 5200+ have?

PCIe lanes are based on the chipset with AMD, not the CPU. The amount of PCIe lanes available will depend on the chipset you use.

AMD 690G Northbridge and ATI SB600 Southbridge. For PCIe lanes, only the 690G matters, which has 24 PCIe lanes.

OK awesome. Just checking to make sure I can put what stuff in the expansion slots

i also believe that is a 2.0 x16 version. so any devices asking for 3.0 x16 (SSDs) might have hampered results.

Yeah no to the SSD's. This build is literallly all use dparts, with better price to proformance than scrapyard wars because I spend $0
