I have some questions. So, I read PCmag's review on Asus ROG strix B450-F and they say this about the M2 slots:
"Although it's helpful that Asus added a second M.2 slot to this board, you'll want to take note of the way it configured these slots. The longer M.2 Key-M 22110 slot is easier to access and should naturally be the primary M.2 slot due to these reasons, but you may want to avoid using this slot as your first choice if you have a graphics card. Asus configured this slot to use PCI Express 3.0 lanes from the CPU, which will effectively lock the primary PCIe x16 slot to an electrical PCI Express 3.0 x8 connection whenever an M.2 storage device is placed in the M.2 Key-M 22110 slot."

They say that this would hamper GPU performance. My first question is that is this true? And if so, then does the ROG strix B550-F address this? Or is it not a big deal and there's a work around on B450-F? (I guess that's sort of three questions in one )
My next question is related to the Asus ROG strix B550-F solely: The B550-F has a WiFi 6 version? What does that mean? That the motherboard comes with an in built router or something and you don't have to connect one externally in order to detect and use WiFi?
