So how many(if any) of these card can my motherboard sup
There are two things at play here - one is the the PCI version number (1.0/1.1, 2.0, 3.0) and the other is the number of "lanes".
PCIe 1.x is 250 MB/sec per lane
PCIe 2.0 is 500MB/sec per lane
PCIe 3.0 is 1000MB/sec per lane
Each card's maximum number of lanes is determined by the card's physical design (i.e., literally the length of the PCIe bus connector.)
A 1 lane card is the shortest, and a 16 lane card is the longest.
