Hi everyone. I'm trying to figure out if my Sabertooth X58 can handle 4G decoding for PCIe devices. There seems to be a lot of mixed information online—some say it was added with the X58 or earlier models, others claim it doesn't work at all, and a few suggest it might be possible with a BIOS hack. I checked my BIOS settings but didn’t find an option to enable it. Could be I missed something, or maybe it’s not supported. Thanks for your help!

It seems to act as a bridge for 32-bit processors. It works regardless of whether you're using 64-bit CPUs, which explains its absence in the BIOS.
