I just read this review on the P5E3 and I noticed something weird. The guy lists his test system as running an nVidia XFX 7800, but in the specifications the board is said to support Crossfire mode cards (thus implying ATI cards).

"Gamers are an obvious target for the board as it supports dual PCIe 2.0 x16 slots, offering increased bandwidth for future PCIe 2.0 x16 CrossFire graphics cards."
Now, have I missed something in the years I have been gone? In my day, you had your PCI-Express motherboard and it supported SLI and nVidia cards. Or and only OR, it supported Crossfire and ATI cards. There was no mixy-matching going on, it was clear cut. Someone please explain what happened? Is it something to do with it being 2.0 instead of the old version of PCI-E?. By the way if it supports both SLI and Crossfire, THIS BOARD RULES!
