Default sli mobo ?

if i chose to go with a mobo that "supports" sli and only get 1 video card would i have a loss in performance due to the setup

reason is i will upgrade to 2 v/c soon

also, with sli do the v/c have to be the same model to work together or can i use different make/model/type(pcie,agp)

Same model, but can be different makes (recently permitted)
Oh and SLI is NOT available for agp, it HAS to be pci-e
