Same as there arent dual AGP boards, I think only one 16x PCI-X slot per board. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32) iD8DBQFAQCyU5sKixANmEMgRAt7fAKCP5ANQ53yfPx/KCJ0boYD9au5nhwCeN8CA JdaGwvXGNl8lM4OUzEgntU8= =jQJ5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- >> Stay informed about: Pci Xpress and sli mode ?

It is possible, if the mobo has 2x 16-PCIx connectors... But even a default PCIx slot is about the same as an AGP 8x slot. But SLI doesn't give you double the Graphic power... Even the POS SGI card shows that even thier crappy SLI setup can't compete with the 9600.... on a bad day. SLI is expensive and not much need for it. Take the Ti4200, lets say it costs ya $175 when you bought it, you added another one for $100 today. Even if it SLIed, it still wouldn't be HALF as fast as the ATI9800 Pro which sells for $200. You'd be better off selling the old card for $60 and buying the new card.... And don't forget the power requirements... -- Remember when real men used Real computers!?

PCI-X is a 64-bit, server PCI slot, PCI-express is completely different.
