Hey does anyone know if you can use the PCIe X16 video cards in future x8, x4,x2,or even x1 slots? It would be sweet if i can plug 3 PCIe video cards in even 4x slots because they don't even use AGP8x right now
 
PCI-E 1x is about 3/4" long.
PCI-E 16x is about 4" long.

Explain to me how you fit 3 gallons of milk in a 1 gallon jug?

Just take a look at a pic of a PCI-E motherboard from any review (say this one: http://www.hardocp.com/image.html?image=MTA4NzY1ODMxNnlWeEZjcHdzUWJfM181X2wuanBn ) and you will see how it is not physically possible.

a 1x card may work in a 16x slot (or 4x or 8x) I am not sure, but that should be possible, but not the other way around.
