I want to buy a Z490 or B550 motherboard, depending on which one of them pci slots work faster and which mode.
Yes, I am sure.
If you want to run both at 8x/8x, you'll need a board with SLI certification, meaning it splits the lanes 8x/8x.
There's only one B550 board that does this afaik - the B550-E, but there's plenty of X570 boards that do it.
Not all X570 boards do.
As for Z490, just make sure it has the SLI certification and it'll run them at 8x/8x.
