So (just to understand) as I my pc have 1 PCIe x16 and 2 PCIe x1 slots,
I can add one Xpander (with 2 GTX480) to each PCIe x1 expansion slot
and keep my GTX260 in PCIe x16... ????
and Octane benefit of all cards?

Connect as many Xpanders as you have available PCIe x 8 slots in the host computer

But I read PCIe x1 connector card here:PCIe x 8 slots, not PCIe x1 ! This has to be confirmed, but it is written.
