I've been planning an AM3 build and bought this board a while back with a Phenom II X4 965 originally intending to run an ATI video card. But as of late I've been very intrigued by PhysX (plus CUDA as I'm also a SETI cruncher) offered on GeForce cards. While this board isn't SLI capable does that mean I can't run say a GTX 275 as it's a double layer card (which I thought meant it was an SLI in 1 unit from the factory, but I've seen seen differing statements on this). Or will I be OK as it's "one" card and as long as I don't use another I'm good? Since you need the board to do the bridging between cards, since it appears they stopped doing it with that little bridge board.

Oh if I'm looking at this right it's the GTX 295 which is an SLI unit combining 2 makes "quad SLI" so the 275 and this board should work until I feel the need to do a different graphics solution?
