It doesn't say if you can use crossfire so I'm not sure If I can install a 4890 on this. If a motherboard says it supports SLI, does that mean it doesn't support ATI cards too? or even crossfire? Help please

This is the board I ordered:

A single ATI video card will work on an SLI motherboard. Two ATI video cards will not work in CrossFire on an SLI chipset.

You can use a 4890 on that board. Since it's an X58 board it supports both crossfire and SLI, so yes you can use two or three 4890s in crossfire.
