oh crap.. so you are saying if you have crossfire/sli you are already using 32 lanes so you have 6 left? plus 4 off the south. can the south share lanes off the main 38 or is it that bogus 4x slot at the bottom again?

if you have those 2 main x16 populated what is that x8 slot actually running at? thats what I want to know.
