According to the specs, it only supports 4x16 and if you have more than 4 PCIe cards then it drops to 6x8 + 1x16. Kinda disappointing since Gigabyte's GA-X58A-UD9 can do 4x16 + 3x8 (using the X58 instead of the 5520, which are pretty much identical in terms of PCIe and both have 2x nF200). Wonder why eVGA doesn't allow a similar configuration since I am interested in more than 4 PCIe cards (such as sound card, which only requires a x1 slot but I'd rather not have it drop the dual GPUs to x8). Also, there are 12x DIMM slots with maximum memory capacity at 48GB. How is this limit actually derived from? I don't suppose anyone has 8GB sticks to test on this (and theoretically filling up to 96GB max). Anyone have any insight on these issues?
