I guess that everybody complaining about "why not 16x" is talking about 2 x PCI-E VGA's in Crossfire, not 1 card. For 1 VGA, it will work on 16x. The future chipset from Intel, the one to come in autumn, will "know" 2 x 16x.

And I hope you remember that on P965, the one P35 is replacing, knew only 16x + 4x...

What I don't understand is how on Earth Asus managed to have 2 x 8x (electrical!) when P35 knows only 16x + 4x (electrical)...

It just means that SLI users will wait on Nforce 7, and ATI crossfire users... well they're screwed.
