ATI crossfire, and SLI aren't perticular types of card, in a nut shell, they are two different ways of configuring two or more graphics cards to act as one. Crossfire only works with ATI cards, SLI only works with Nvidia cards. You can you any single card with any motherboard as long as the motherboard has the right connector, and your PSU is powerfull enough and has the right connectors. That board in perticular board will not support SLI as it is an AMD northbridge chip. However it might support crossfire if you are wishing to do so, however it will need further investigation to ensure if it is or not.
Hope this helps and I'll be back this evening to help you again if you have any more questions. My System: First OC

No you can use either ATI or Nvidia, but if you want to put 2 cards in it they will have to be ATI
As long as the card is PCI-e you will be fine Hope that makes sense ![]()
