    You can't have 4 cards in SLi. Max available is 3 on a 780i board, or 2 dual-cards ( as in, 2 chips on the same PCB)

    Its too bad X48 doesnt support SLI. You could go Quad Xfire with a 3870 X2 tho...

    Does not matter how many PCI-E slots a motherboard has, unless it has SLi support (which only nVidia chipsets do) then it cannot run SLi. Theoretically, you could stick half a dozen PCI-E slots on a motherboard, but unless you planned on running 12 screens on your PC, it would make no difference.
