X38 and P35

[Dangerman3]

Ive noticed that some of these boards have 2 x PCIe slots x16 slots so this allows you to have 2 gfx's cards in obviously. Well when reading the product Infomation on a different shop site (wont say who) it says its crossfire not SLI i know crossfire is ATI and SLI is nvidia but if i was to get lets say the Gigabyte GA P35-DQ6 would i not be able to put two 8800 in as SLI.

No you wouldnt be able to put two 8800s in SLI.

P35 boards are only Crossfire capable at the moment.

Intel's "Bonetrail" X38 Motherboard, from what I've read is SLI compatable.

All the others are just crossfire as far as I'm aware, if your going crossfire or sli then the X38 maybe worth looking at, as for performance I would wait till the motherboards are released & see whats best then.

And the need for this is? a single 8800GTX runs every game upto 1920x1080 without any problems, dual 8800gtx runs every game with a dell 30" with aa and af no problems...
