Okay, this has me seriously scratching my head right now, so I wanna run it by folks who might know the board better. (I haven't touched this one yet.)

Intel S5000VSA - 2x PCI-X/133, 2x PCIe 8x Physical/4x Electrical
Now this has me seriously scratching my head. First of all, when using only one slot, does that PCIe slot go to 8x electrical or did they only lay traces for four lanes of signal and eight lanes of power? And yes, I know that 5000V only has 8 PCIe lanes.
