Scalable Link Interface™
SLI-ready means that you can run two of that same type of card together in one computer, giving you a performance boost, and spreading the load between the two cards.
SLI is new technology that allows you to scale graphics performance.
The population of SLI Systems is 100.
SLI Systems was created in 2001.
SLI-ing two different GPUs is a tricky business. Generally speaking, it is not a good idea to SLI different cards as they may have compatibility issues and whatnot. If you wish to SLI, do it with the same cards.

First, you have to have an SLI ready motherboard, got that, so far so good. Then you need 2 SLI ready graphics cards (use nvidia for graphics cards and motherboard for this), You got that, then connect the 2 graphics cards in the mother board, then connect them together using the bridge it comes with in every box for an SLI ready card. Then get your dual monitors and connect on to one graphics card then connect the other monitor to the other card. The bridge that connects the 2 graphics cards together makes the cards join together as if one big one. Hoping everything works out.
Yes, There is no reason it should not work. I would use a better motherboard if you are going to put that graphics card in it though. perhaps a 700 series SLI not a 500 series SLI. Also an 8800 GT would complement this board very nicely.
If SLI is in operating condition then sLI itself will indicates that whether load is in safe mode. But if SLI is not working then one must be considered 40 % factor of safety of crane SWL and in SLI working condition it will be considered 20 % of its SWL.
To anyone that has read the original answer to this. NO you can not sli two different cards. Only amd crossfire can do that within families. Sli works in a way that it has to be the same exact card to work properly, that is why motherboards are harder to find for sli.
2 8800gts running in sli will be faster than a single 8800gts the answer will be YES, unless u are comparing two diffrent cards like 2 8800gts' against 1 ati 4870. also SLI doesn't necessarily mean better frame rates, unless you are playing at high resolutions, then it will.
SLI is not in the graphics card SLI is running two or more of the same graphics cards at the same time to increase the performance but you need a power supply and a motherboard that supports it
