    I have just been reading about PCI Express, and was trying to figure out if my S54B has it or not. I have CPU-Z 1.30 installed and when I ran it this came up under the mainboard:

    If I'm not mistaken it is showing that I have PCI Express. I then saw that CPU-Z has a new version out, 1.32.1, so I also downloaded that to see what it said. This is what I got:

    The new version of CPU-Z is showing that I don't have PCI Express. In fact, it's showing no Graphic Interface at all! Why is this? Why would version 1.30 say that I have PCI Express and version 1.32 say that I don't; that I don't have any graphic interface? Everything else between the two versions of CPU-Z is the same, except this. Could it be because my system is a Japanese model?

    Do I have PCI Express, or not? Is there some way I can check without voiding the warranty? Do all of the S series have PCI Express, or is CPU-Z 1.30 lying to me? Any ideas?
