The K8SLI mainboard provides two 8-lane (x8) PCI-Express slots which we can use with two
identical SLI-ready PCI-Express graphics cards to enable SLI mode. This technology can increase
substantially the performance. Please refer to Appendix for more information of SLI technology.

(x1) PCI-Express slots for additional cards. The slot provides 250 MB/s bandwidths in each
direction.
