Ok, I spoke too soon. In reviewing the spec, the main controller is 
pciE, and the second controller clearly isn't designed to be used as
a loaded port. Im not quite sure why the 2nd nic is on there. This
MB seems more like a science project with both pciE and pciX controllers
on it. But the spec clearly says that the PCIx bus is 32big/33Mhz, so
there's really no excuse for not knowing.
