Hello,
I want to buy a motherboard that supports the old PCI ports (to use for my soundcard). i read that the boards that support the Z87 chipset offer "bridged" PCI connections and not "native". How could this affect the performance of the card?
Moreover, I was suggested to get a motherboard with as less as possible PCI ports, because the bandwidth which will be shared to them will be larger (divided to less parts). Does this mean that regardless of how many PCI cards I'll use, the bandwidth will always be divided? And if so, could it cause a functionality problem?

Sound cards aren't very demanding, and neither is a single GPU.
