yea i read that and even in the pic its 2 cards .but specs show 3870x2 which is practically a single card occupyin a single slot.

ppl at nforce forums also asked the same when this was out.

Crossfire is not supported by nVidia board.

^^Yup. Onl Scalable Link interface is supported AFAIK.

Get a good Intel based Gigabyte board if ur looking for Crossfire.
