Help with Motherboards and SLI/Crossfire???

Q: Ok, now to the best of my knowledge... SLI is the term for two nVIDIA graphics cards being used in the same computer. Crossfire is the term for two ATI grahpics cards being used in the same computer. Are SLI motherboards Crossfire compatible as well? Are Crossfire motherboards SLI compatible as well? Is one the same as the other? Im pretty sure that all you need to do SLI/Crossfire is to have two of the same type of graphics card and (since PCI-Ex16 is the newest available.... I assume you need two of these ports). Please give me details on how this works. Thanks.

A: You cant get a motherboard to do both SLI/CFX but all boards can use Nvidia or AMD/ATI gpus right now if you want to duel gpu's ATI is in a really good position right now they have the fastest card 4870x2 so I would get a cheap Intel P45 or X48 motherboard and just get a simple processor that way when the new amazing Intel Core i7 processor comes out you will already have the ATi gpu's which is the only way to get duel gpu setup then all you will need is the processor, heatsink, and new motherboard
