What? The very first thing they say is totally wrong:

Thanks to the PCI Express (PCIe) interface, combining two graphics cards in an SLI configuration is easily achieved. Just plug two identical GeForce 6 or GeForce 7 cards into the motherboard, and connect them with the SLI bridge connector.

MOST dual x16 boards will allow you to "just plug those in" but they WILL NOT work in SLI. It will simply be two vid cards. You need an SLI motherboard with an nVidia chipset because nVidia wills it so and their driver enforces it.
