Thanks for the reply. I cannot remember where I saw it but I found information on how an apu can be forced to run only as a cpu and the gpu cores also take the role of cpu. I do know that you can turn off the crossfire in my laptop but the apu and the dgpu are about the same in capabilities. I would have no problem in making a custom mpcie extension that would allow the replacement of the sd card reader with an mpcie slot. I actually am in the process of making a prototype.

Hey guys, I am looking at getting an refurbished lenovo g505s. the one without dual graphics. i have seen that the AMD A10-5750 performs somewhere around the same as the lower i7-4k's so i believe that i can avoid bottlenecking from the cpu. my question is if the lenovo has pcie gen 2 or 1. i would prefer gen 2. and another question is how would i be able to tell if the slots can be configured for more than one lane. a 2x slot would be great. a 4x would be ideal. i know that i have one i can use since the bluetooth module is in one. i would gladly remove it. i just need to know if it has gen two and if they can be configured for more lanes(if so how?)
