You can use 1&3 or 1&4 or 2&3 or 2&4 to keep it at 16x/16x, and not 1&2 or 3&4 as it will drop to 8x/8x.
About using x1 card by the side of VGA and maintaining VGA at 16x, I'm 99% sure, as I read it somewhere what people tried, but didn't try it myself.
Ok, I am sorry, it is my mistake I was very tired, it was in the early morning
hours and I hadn't gone to sleep yet. I meant to say slots 2 and 4 but typed
out 3 and 4. Sorry.

But thank you so much for the perfectly clear reply. The good side of my
error is that it caused you to give an even more detailed explanation of
which slots can be used for 16x. It is crystal clear now, and should be to all
looking at this topic.

Thank you again.
