what is SLI and CrossFireX?

I'm looking at motherboards for a new computer and some of them say "SLI ready" or "CrossFireX ready"

if someone could explain it would be much appreciated

thanks in advance

SLI means that you can use 2 or more same nvidia graphics cards at same time which gives you better fps in games, it depends if game supports SLI then it gives it a huge boost, but if not then it gives only a little :)

CrossFireX is same like SLI but only with ATI video cards :)
