Subject: SLI & Crossfire

Question
I'm planning on buying the ASUS P5K Pro motherboard that has Crossfire support. I'm also planning on buying a GeForce 8800 GT video card that has SLI support. I was wondering if I can use a video card that has SLI support on a mobo that has Crossfire support and vise-versa.

Answer
As far as I am aware that would be a no. SLI support is strictly for Nvidia cards, hencse you can't use ATI's crossfire. Same goes the other way around.
Most motherboard manufacturer's offer their motherboards with both, each has a slight vary in the model number.
