QUAD SLi Motherboard? (if it can do sli, can it do quad?)

I was looking at some motherboards for a new i7 build...and I feel like getting either the gigabyte ud5 or the gigabyte extreme motherboard.

I was wondering if I would be able to do quad sli on either of these? (or if not, could you please recommend one which I could)...

-I was thinking that since it can do at least SLi it could probably do quad sli (since quad sli is just simply two physical cards which EACH have 2 gpus..therefore you would need two pci express slots at least and one of those boards -if not both- has @ least 3 for tri sli)

someone please help me out...
 
I advise you to build a quad SLI with 2 physical cards with both have 2 gpu cores.
With this solution, there are many mobo able to do that.

A quad-SLI with 4 physical cards is stupid.
 
Both those motherboards can use 2 9800gx2's or 2 GTX295's. But if you are going highend I would go 3 280's (if you are on a budget) or go 3 285's. If you want the extreme than get a Evga Classified motherboard and do 3 285's plus a 9800gt for physx.

I don't think the Classified is out yet. But it IS a good mobo from what I've heard about it.

yea I like it too, but I wish it would support 24 gb of ram -for upgradeability...also I have not noticed if it supports IDE drives -I have 2 special dvd drives I would like to use....if it has both of those then it is a definite buy for me!...also, how do they use that 9800gt for physics only? thats something new to me and I like the sound of it, just not sure about how it works or how to go about using it...

I think 4 GPU's is the max right now. Plus 3 285's are more powerful than 2 295's so I don't know why you would try with 2 295's.
