My mobo is an ASUS P8Z68, and I want to get an ASUS 6950 dcuii. Potentially run two of them in XFire in a few months.

Does my mobo support 2 of these monster cards? 1 of them, even? It also says that it runs on 2.1 PCIe slots, while my mobo only has 2.0 PCIe slots. I don't much understand the concept of PCI slots, so any explanation would also be helpful, if not necessary.
