Hello Friends,

I am designing a carrier pcb that provides interconnect between a CPU module 
and 
a video processing card.
The video card supports 4x PCIe, but the CPU module has only 2 PCIe lanes 
available.

Since PCIe pairs are specified to have 100ohm differential impedance, 50 ohm 
resistors to ground ought to 

work on the unused TX pairs. Do I also need a .1u cap in series with the 
resistors for the RX pairs?

Thanks,
Jim
