Most people will tell you that SLi & CrossFire setups are a waste of money. Why pay for two cards AND a power supply capable of handling the load, when one good card will do?

SLi is for nVidia based cards only...Crossfire is strictly for ATI based cards.

I dont think my MoBo can support two cards I got two regular PCI slots One 1xPCIe and One 16xPCIe yeah I think that too why 2 when one card is just enough, Also does two cards consume twice as much energy than one?

Yes, that's why you need a damn good power supply for an SLi or Crossfire configuration.

So ATI's crossfire is the equivalent to nVdia's SLI?
