Yes, it is SLI compatable and it will run both cards at PCI-E 16x. I see no reason why 2 9800GTX's will not fit.

Can anyone tell me in 100% that the ASUS P5N-D SLI is capable of running
two video cards in PCI-E 16x?
The reference nvidia chipset (nForce 750i SLI MCP) is only capable of 2x8x PCI-E...

I have been using it for about 2 months now with no problems. HOWEVER, SLI is really really tight with two 9800 GTX+s. I mean tight tight. I can barely get my finger between the two card.

FURTHERMORE -- When you throw in a second card you will need a PCI SATA adapter because the second card completely covers the onboard SATA ports.
