No, you can't. I believe it was able to be done before with hacked drivers, but it seems Nvidia foiled those efforts with a newer version of them.

The first is OK at x8/x8 but if I had bought an AMD system I would have an AMD GPU and possibly Crossfired them.

yeah but that means i spend to much money to get 2 cards. all i have to do is buy the mobo the RAM and the next GPU.

(note i have DDR2 RAM)

if i want to Crossfire then i have to get a mobo, the RAM, and 2 GPUs

You can reuse your DDR2 RAM for an AMD motherboard and a single 6870, then buy one later.

No. He means you buy a DDR2 Crossfire motherboard for your processor and buy a 6870 now, with the other following up later.
