I heard that they were (going to/or still are/or have already) Bringing out/brang out motherboards that have 2x AGP slots. But what you may have seen was PCI Graphics cards, or even one for the AGP and one for the PCI

Well it's hard to say what you can do too your computer because you have not provided anyone with any info on your puter ;-)...

Pretty much all computers can run 2 video cards using the pci slots.

I've not heard that one, I've heard however that they are indeed coming out with mobo's with 2 PCI express slots for SLI connectivity with Nvidia cards.

What you saw was an implementation of SLI (most likely from nVidia but then again it could be the really old one from 3dfx). For SLI you need two things:
- An nForce4 SLI motherboard
- Two GeForce 6600GT, 6800GT, 6800Ultra's

But not doing it top and bottom :)

They're out. If you've been lucky enough to get a ALX system then you might have had it much sooner :)

Too be honest I did not know exactly what he meant by that LOL. I figured it could have meant the bottom pci slot was being used LOL.

Also I doubted "at the time" that it was an SLI setup he saw on TV because I just never see any damn good shows like that!! LOL.
