A single 8800GTX? No problem. You can't do SLi on a CrossFire motherboard though, just like you can't do CrossFire on an nVidia SLI board.

Gotcha thanks!

what are your guys opinion on the ATI radeon 2900 HD xt daimond card vs the Nivida 8800 GTX card... From what ive heard the 8800 is faster but not as good image quality as the Radeon ....This true?

With the new cards only days away you'd be insane to invest 500+ dollars in a card. The new 8800 GTS and the HD38xx should outperform the 8800 GTX for nearly half the price.
