I was just looking at a motherboard and it has 3 pci-e x 16 slots. But it says 1 pci-e x16 is just that. Then it point to another one and says pci-e x16 (electrical x4 or x1). Then the other it says pci-e x16( electrical x1). What does all that mean are they still just regular pci-e x16 slot and if i crossfire will it slow down or something. I was also looking at the x48 which i liked but it dosent support a FSB of 1066 which my cpu (Q6600) has which im pretty sure means they cant go together. Also so this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131244R dont know how you guys feel about ASUS. If anyone can recommend another motherboard that supports 1066/1333Mhz fsb plz post it. With 2 pci-e x 16 slots that be great thx.

The WS series boards are server boards, not for gaming use. get this board instead: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128336 Supports every SKT775 intel chip under the sun, has two full bandwidth PCIe 16x slots for crossfire, is a good overclocker and an overall excellent board.
the fsb on this board is 1600/1333Mhz and my intel Q6600 is 1066Mhz so im assuming th motherboard will just go down to 1066MHz right?
