hmm i was under the impression that sli and crossfire where two seperate technologies where only one was supported by the chipset. E.g i bought an nforce sli mobo last year with an ati card as i knew i was never going to go SLI. But I cannot by a second ATI card now and put it in my SLI mobo. From your link your mobo looks crossfire compatible and SLI will not be an option but double check for sure.
