Abit IP35 Pro compatibility question

[Carbonated]

I was wondering if ABit's IP35 Pro Mobo was compatible with dual NVidia graphics cards(Sli) or if it can only handle one.

I don't believe it officially supports sli. It could support two graphics cards for multiple displays(3-4) though.

The second slot is only x 4.

Ok will this support SLI?The Gigabyte GA-P35-DQ6? I know it supports Crossfire but I'm not sure iof there is a difference in Ati's and NVidia's methods of linking two cards.....

Edit: Ok I know the difference in the two linking methods...but I am still in the dark as to whether the Mobo supports SLI

No, I don't believe that board is sli capable either. To get sli, you should get a board that has a nvidia nforce sli chipset. Here're quite a few for core2duos.

IP35 Pro supports on ATI Crossfire

I was wondering if ABit's IP35 Pro Mobo was compatible with dual NVidia graphics cards(Sli) or if it can only handle one.

Per my understanding, Intel chipset only suports ATI Crossfire.
So I think IP 35 pro supports only Crossfire~
