Pcie Sli
Can my ASUS A8N-E Motherboard Support SLI? it has got a PCIx16 and a PCIx4 (which i read was universal PCIe)?
currently here is my setup
AMD Anthlon 64 X2 4200+
1GB Kingston DDR400
Power Color X1600XT 256MB
450W PSU
The motherboard is nForce 4 Ultra
it has
1 PCIe16x
1 PCIe 4x
2 PCIe 1x
3 PCI
i think thats the basics..
i am quite sure the motherboard does not support CrossFire 
.. so i might get Nvidia if this mb can support SLI
It supports neither Crossfire nor SLi. The thing is, when you buy a motherboard, it has to say supports SLi or supports Crossfire and it will have two PCIe x16 slots. But, most motherboards will only support PCIe x8 mode when operating two graphics cards. You should look for one that explicitly states supports dual PCIe x16 mode. An example of one that does is the Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe (Gaming Edition). You'll pay for it at about $200 but its worth every penny. And the good news it, it will support your memory and processor. You can find it here, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131568
Note, for the time being PCIe x1 and x4 slots are basically useless. Yeah, you could put a supported network card in it but it's no better than a regular PCI network card. The only useful PCIe slots are x16 and they are only for graphics, all the other PCIe slots are useless.
