I am very soon to be upgrading to PCI-E. I have a few questions:

Whats the difference between SLI & Crossfire is it just NVIDIA & ATI compatibility?

If I buy a SLi ready or crossfire ready Motherboard do you need 2 graphics cards straight away?

If not does the graphic card need to be an SLI or Crossfire version to work or will any PCI-E graphics card work in a crossfire ready motherboard?

In your opinion whats the best option for me out of these motherboards? bear in mind that I will be getting either a x1800xt or x1900xt (Non Crossfire version)
