I don’t think the 680i support quad sli.

I'm not 100% sure on this but i thought that quad sli was done by buying graphics card with two seperate GPU's on themlike the 7950 GX2 cards.... then you simply put one of them in each PCI-e x16 slot, hence 4 GPU's...
Thats what i always figured anyway... if i am right then any SLi motherboard should work, the 680i should be MORE than capable of doing that

Yes that is right, I don't think a motherboard would be able to sport 4 PCI-E slots, there wouldn't be room for anything else.

You can get four video cards on a board e.g.: http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/10/04/one_gigabyte_motherboard/
This is definitely not the norm, however. Quad-SLI refers to the use of two cards with two GPUs on them, for example the 7950GX2s. With the release of the 8800 series, I would recommend against Quad SLI. You'll get far better performance out of a pair of 8800GTXs than a pair of 7950GX2s in quad SLI.

I would rather get a quad SLi than have 4 cards on a board. Gee how much juice will it suck?
