Asus Maximus IV Extreme Intel P67

Do we even know the Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD7 actually does 2 16x/16x native? It's using the same NF200 chip as the Maxi 4 Extreme, and SB only supports 8x/8x on die anyway so unless the Gigabyte board is doing some kind of magic to create pipelines (note: different to bandwidth) then I don't see how it's going to work any differently?Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately, it is useless to me. No support of 2x PCI2.0 x16 lanesThanks all the same
How sure are you of that? Keen to place a big order but I know you guys take payment in advance.

I was hoping the specification was correct:
What do yous think?
I honestly don't know to be honest so wouldn't want to advise you one way or the other.
What I do know is that the Sandybridge P67 spec supports either PCI-E 2.0 16x or 2 x 8x (see here). Both Maximus IV Extreme and that Gigabyte board utilise the same chip (NF200) to provide more bandwidth for those PCI-E lanes.
I'm fairly sure they don't magically add lanes because of the limitations of the SB/P67 spec.
On that basis I would presume both boards operate identically in terms of how many lanes & bandwidth is available to the slots.
