no i ask this question because i have been told overclock my i7 920 and it would be fine for modern graphics however the x58 chipset has only pcie 2.0 and i dont know exactly how many lanes. i believe this effects sli and crossfire performance immensly compared to a x97 but i dont know.

my question is how many lanes does a x97 have vs a x58 pcie

What motherboard do you have because in order to sli or crossfire you'll need two Pcie slots that's the place where you put your GPU running at x16/x16 or x8/x8 or x16/x8 and your motherboard needs to support sli or crossfire
