I noticed that the mobo has 2 x16 PCI Express slots
However, it says that crossfire will run in dual x8 mode.
I am clearly misunderstanding something because wouldn't 2 x16 slots and no x8 slots mean the cards will run at dual x16?

p5w-dh will run crossfire at X8.
Support ATI CrossFire graphics cards (both @ x8 mode)
true. it only runs @ x8 dual crossfire. i've only seen 1 board run @ x16 dual crossfire and that was an amd board.
