Can the Abit IP35Pro motherboard run two 4870's/275's in crossfire/sli?

It has one 16x PCI-e slot and one 4x PCI-e slot, not sure if it supports crossfire or SLI???

The second x16 slot only has x4 worth of PCI-E bandwidth, but is sufficient for Crossfire compatibility, which the IP35 Pro has.

Nicve one! doesn't seem to say on the Abit website!

Is it worth running a 4870 on a 4x slot?

I personally would rather run 1 graphics card (4890 perhaps?). Think 4x pci-e 1.1 will be a bit of a bottle neck.
Though if someone could clarify that for me, as i'm not very clued up on dual/tri/quad GPU solutions

on a previous generation there was a minute performance difference between two 8x lanes and two 16x lanes, but thats as much as i know.
