Very nice Motherboard Tony, I am not sure I understand your question but if your asking if your board will support using a SSD the answer is yes. I would look for SSD that is USB 3.0 to take full advantage of your hardware.

As long as it's a standard x4 card, you shouldn't have a problem using an x8 or x16 slot.
Generally, the lower numbered card can be used in the higher numbered slot.

here the one i was looking to buy Newegg.com - OCZ RevoDrive 3 X2 series RVD3X2-FHPX4-240G PCI-E 240GB PCI-Express 2.0 x4 MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Nice drive, nice specs, not worth the money though. Plus some people reported all kinds of problems with the Revo drive.
I would go for a plain old Sata3 SSD. Much more straight forward and you would probably not notice any difference. And you save a bundle.
But as was said, it would fit on x8 or x16.
