1) Who the fuck said this?

2) What moron would want this?

I'm probably not right here, but the only way I could see a motherboard working with both SLI and Crossfire is if you either...

a.) Hack the thing to make a buggy. half-assed version of the opposite dual video card platform.

b.) Have dual chip sets on the mother board and a switch to interchange between Crossfire and SLI.

Either way, what's the fucking point? Get a motherboard and stick to one graphics card developer. Personal preferences aside, you're not really getting anything worse by choose A over B. Each company is always making something just slightly better then the other's latest version. Though, I don't know if this is true or not, Crossfire is supposedly the more flexible platform, as you can mis and match cards to a certain degree. While with SLI you have to have two of the same video cards. Though, correct me if I'm wrong on that. It's just something I remember reading a while back.

For SLI, it just need to be the same chip, but manufacturer and even ram size and clock speeds can be different... for example if i have an 8800GTS 320MB superclocked, and i buy an 8800GTS 640 with regular clock speeds.. I can SLI the 2 cards but it will use the slowest clock speed of the 2 cards and the smallest memory size of the 2 cards.. so it would be like SLIing 2 320MB 8800GTSs with regular clock speeds... You can not SLI an 8800GTX and an 8800GTS (for example) though... I don't know how crossfire works though...
