WIll my GA-Z68P-DS3 support a 2 way crossfire R9 290?
This is what my Mobo has :
1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x16 (PCIEX16)
* For optimum performance, if only one PCI Express graphics card is to be installed, be sure to install it in the PCIEX16 slot.
1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x4 (PCIEX4)
2 x PCI Express x1 slots
(All PCI Express slots conform to PCI Express 2.0 standard.)
2 x PCI slots

.
The 2 PCI's on the bottom are far smaller than the other two. I assume those are the PCI x1 ?
Also what is the difference between them?
Another thing that concerns me is that a R9 290 takes 2 slots. Does that mean that 1x 290 will will take both of the PCIx16?
