I'm trying to find out if my motherboard supports Crossfire or SLI. I have check online but the way it's listing the specs, that seams to have been left out, unless it's something I do not know. Like how the Motherboard is labeled as "System Model" in Windows, why can't they just say motherboard.. I could just post what my motherboard is and wait for the answer, but I want to know how to find that out for myself.
So my question to be clear is,

How do I check if my motherboard supports Crossfire or SLI?

Googling does not work, unless as above it's labeled under something else. "I thought about bridge, or something in the communications area no luck as of yet"
 
Solution
Model number? Crossfire and SLI support are listed under the system specs on the product page for every motherboard I've ever seen or heard of, unless it's an OEM board like what comes with a prebuilt Dell, HP or similar system, in which case, it almost certainly does not support any kind of multiple graphics card configuration.

Solution
It will tell you what? It won't tell you if the board supports full speed SLI or Crossfire. It will tell you the model number, in most cases, but I see nothing that would indicate it has anything that will specify multiple graphics cards being able to function in SLI or in Crossfire.

It will tell him the exact model of his motherboard, so he can google it again by himself, like he wanted to and can easily find out what he wants to know.
 
Yes, it will tell you the motherboard model, in some, but not all cases. I've seen boards that would not accurately report model number in CPU-Z. Aftermarket boards pretty much always will. Some OEM boards will not. The best method is to look on the board itself for the model number or find the board model that was included with your prebuilt system model on the prebuilt system's product page. If none of that works, then using methods like CPU-Z are fine, if they work, or looking in the administrative tools "system info" applet in the appropriate section.
