SLI Compatible with Crossfire?
If I buy a SLI mobo now, will I be able to use it with the ATI crossfire video cards in the future, or would I have to buy a new crossfire compatible mobo?

Right now you have to buy a board with the ATI chipset, it is not compatible with the nForce 4 chipset or SLI.

1. Crossfire edition cards are to be used with crossfirew configurations ... and will cost more than normal cards
2. Crossfiree and SLI are non-cross-compatible 3. So dont buy a crossfire edition card if you're buying an SLI board.
