The whole article was trying to prove that 4850CF benefits from 2 PCI-E x16 lanes (X48 board), because when tested with 2 PCI-E x8 lanes (P45 board), the performance was noticeably lower.
This has been the case since early P35 boards ASUS released the Blitz with a crosslinx chip which made about a 13% difference and then x38 came out and made it redundant. Sadly the P45 chipset has kept the 16x + 4x or worse moved to an 8x + 8x layout.
