I think its **** near impossible to choke a 2.0 x16 slot with current cards, and its pretty difficult to choke a 1.1 x16 slot. Take the p45 boards for example. They support crossfire with 2 pci e slots. They are both 2.0, but one is 16x and the other is 8x, even with 2 hd4870s there is no bottleneck. Simply put the pci express bus is capable of pushing more data than any video card around. That's gonna change soon enough but they are already working in pci e 3.0.
