Hmm looks like I may be able to after all...
Yes you can, PCIe is compatable as long as the co-efficent of the x is lower on the card then the co-efficent of x on the slot you wish to use. Thus a 1x card would fit in a 1x, 4x, 8x, or 16x slot.
A 1x slot will fit only 1x cards
A 4x slot will fit only 1x, and 4x cards
A 8x Slot will fit only 1x, 4x, and 8x cards
A 16x slot will fit only 1x, 4x, 8x, and 16x cards
The 16X slot will be used for a video card, the 4X slot will (hopefully) be used for a 1X ethernet card.
