Iv always used Nvidia, but recently I was going to run two 9800gt's SLI but it wasnt working, then looked into my MOBO and noticed it says Crossfire. ( im afraid to go to ATI! :(

"Once we had finished overclocking we followed a hint from MSI and installed the BIOS from the X58 Pro SLI motherboard. We downloaded BIOS version 8.0, booted with a USB key and installed the BIOS without any trouble. The result was that our X58 Pro suddenly gained the ability to run SLI as well as CrossFire so we plugged in a pair of GeForce GTX 280 graphics cards and ran a quick set of benchmarks which delivered impressive results. "

Got it :)
