I won't look if I go this route...that's the only way it wouldn't bother me.  Forced ignorance.  :)

Maybe this will help. Put your gpu in 1 and your other cards in 3,4,5 or 6 leave 2 blank.

PCI-E Slot Breakdown
PCI-E Lane Distribution
PE1 – x16 (x8 if PE2 is used)
PE2 – x16 (x8 if PE3 is used)
PE3 – x8
PE4 – x16 (x8 if PE6 is used)
PE5 – x1
PE6 – x8



Incorrect. Slot 1 runs on cpu, all other slots run on plx.

Anything in any lane other than slot one will force lane 1 into x8. Slot 2 and 4 run off the plx which mimic both being x16, but are only actually running at x8 to the cpu. If slot 3 has anything in it, it will change the plx lanes to x8 for lane 2. Same with slot 6 and 4 together.

Not incorrect! It's all moot since his CPU only has 16 lanes. You can't run any two cards and have more than 16 lanes total.

In three way would the layout be spaced 1 3 and 6?  I read the stuff above and i can't see a reason why not.

First you need to check your SLI bridge spacing. Most three way are 40mm you would need to put your cards in slots 2,3, and 4. If your bridge is 60mm spacing than slots 1,2 and 4 or 2,4 and 6.
Hope this helps.

Duh me...of course...I missed the most basic thing.  
 
Yeah I have the EVGA 3 way sli bridge and the nvidia special 60 mm (GYN70) is hard to come by.  Won't be getting 3 way for a while, maybe not at all, so no problem.
 
Thanks again.
