1.1 Feature Summary The IOH provides the interface between the processor
Intel QPI and industry-standard PCI Express* components.
The Intel QPI interface is a full width link (20 lanes).
 The x16 PCI Express Gen2 ports are also configurable as x8 and x4 links
compliant to the PCI Express Base Specification, Revision 2.0.
In addition, the IOH supports a x4 DMI link interface for the ICH10.
Refer to Figure 1-2 for a high-level view of the IOH and its interfaces.

1.1.1 Features By Segment based on PCI Express Ports The Intel X58 Express
Chipset supports the Intel Core™ i7 processor Extreme Edition, Intel Core™ i7 processor,
and Intel Xeon® processor 3500 series, has 36 PCIe lanes,
one Intel QPI port, and supports AMT3 manageability.

1.1.4 PCI Express Features
• Two x16 PCI Express Gen2 ports each supporting up to 8 GB/s/direction peak bandwidth —
   All ports are configurable as two independent x8 or four independent x4 interfaces
• An additional x4 PCI Express Gen2 port configurable to 2 x 2 interfaces
• Dual unidirectional links
• Supports PCI Express Gen1 and Gen2 transfer rates

1.1.5 Direct Media Interface (DMI) Features
• One x4 DMI link interface supporting PCI Express Gen1 (2.5 Gbps) transfer rate —
   Dedicated legacy bridge (Intel I/O Controller Hub 10 (ICH10)) interface
• ICH10 Support

Lyg ir turetu turet ta Gen2 ne tik vidlekai.. na bent jau antram x16 bent jau Gen2 turetu but.

***

Pratesimui truksta info ar ta Asmedia kitame porte irgi 2.5GT/s ir ar BIOS'e ko nors apie Gen2 nera.

Slots

• 2 PCI Express gen2 x16 slots
- supports ATI® Crossfire™
• 1 PCI Express gen1 x4 slot
• 1 PCI slot, support 3.3V/ 5V PCI bus Interface



Gal tas x4 slot'as per DMI pajungtas


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_X58
The X58 has 40 PCIe lanes that are arranged in two ×16 links, DMI link and "spare"-based link. When used with the ICH10I/O 
Controller Hub with ×4 DMI connection the "spare" supports a separate ×4 PCIe connection.

The X58 chipset itself supports up to 36 PCI-Express 2.0 lanes,
so it is possible to have two PCIe ×16 slots and one PCIe ×4 slot on the same motherboard.

Tarkim klaustukai del PCI x16 << ten rodo iki 36 lanes
Ir nuo DMI->ICH10 .. rodo 6 x Pci express x1 (po 500MB/s << cia Gen2 greitis)
I south bridge DMI duoda tik 2GB/s (t.y. 4 PCI-E linkai Gen2)

Galimybes bandymams - videlka det i apacia, o i pirmaji PCI-E x16 sita "stebukla"..
Jei netyciom pamatys juodam ekrane using Gen2 ir per ta soft'a 5GT/s - tada kazkiek greiciau butu.
