After looking at this diagrams, it leads me to think that if you have a Z68, P67 motherboard you do not have to change it to a Z77 to get the functionality of PCI Express 3.0, My reasoning for this is as the diagrams point out the PCI Express Graphics are routed to the processor so if anyone changes to the upcoming Ivy bridge processor, by putting it in a Z68 motherboard it will enable PCI Express 3.0 since the lanes required are available in the Ivy bridge processor.
I think this apply to the memory too if someone has a Z68 motherboard that has 1600+ support and purchases Ivy bridge processor to use in the Z68 motherboard it should change the native support from 1333 to 1600, due to the memory controller being in the processor.
Anyone correct me if i am wrong and shade more light in to this information/topic...
