using PCI-E riser will it effect performance?

[PAo_ReVoLT]

upcoming i7 platform i'm going to use PCI Express Flexible Riser Card (ribon style)

will that efftect performance? add latency? low down the bandwidth?

i just want to move the card to my lower slot (my case have 10 pci slot so there will be an empty spcae)

thx

I'm not totally sure, but I don't think there will be much of a negative effect, Since your upping the distance, it will increase latency a bit, but I doubt the increase will do anything, or be noticeable.

how about bandwidth issue?
