Default Quick question about doing a SLI

I am buying this card:
- TC3H-1105 :: NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500 / 256MB GDDR3 / PCI Express / Dual DVI / TV Out / OEM / Video Card (1.6 lbs)
-http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2751844&sku=TC3H-1105
[b]
Will it be able to run in SLI with another video card? Also when doing a SLI connection do both video cards have to be 100% the same?

Default Quick question about doing a SLI

Not to be rude but why on earth would you want to SLI with a Quadro? (you can by the way).

These card's were designed from the ground up for CAD work and (as an offshoot of the architecture) video editing. But SLI isn't supported by the majority of applications that are for such usage.

Whilst they can game, if thats what you want it/them for, at low to medium resolutions, buying two for SLI makes no sense, least of all economically, for gaming. To be frank, you'd be hard pressed to make economic sense buying two of them for CAD work considering the models available.

Not assuming you're a gamer, just want to be absolutely clear on my points.
