the PCIe-Interfaces are plug&play. The me4-board with 4 lanes is also compatible to the PCIe x16, but the performance is equal to the PCIe x4.  We have tested our boards with more than 40 motherbords. My reference are motherboards (for example Asus P6T7 WS SuperComputer) with Intel x58Express chips and PCIe x4 or faster PCIe-Interfaces. Then  you have only with our boards (me 4-AD4-CL/VD-10L) the support for the new DMA900 technology, which transfer rates up to 900MByte/s make possible. We have also the 10tap-CL-support.
In my sense we have  the highest performance with this transfer ra= te today.
Best regards,
