I've been reading into old tomshardware motherboard reviews on the ivy bridge architecture, and I've been wondering what they mean by how some boards benefit by having a PCIe switch and others don't. Of course the most important part, what is the application or instant benefit as a user.

if you do not have a switch, you could not use all of your pcie slots at the same time at full speed.
