CF/SLI with this mobo?

[MirageMobile]

Abit IP35 pro is my current mobo and I was contemplating the performance hit I'll see in Xfire/SLI with the below PCI-E slots:

1 x PCI-E X16, 1 x PCI-E X16 (x4 bandwidth)

Any insight would be helpful

EDIT: I've read this but unsure how it relates to current video cards.

On a P35? I wouldn't bother. For one, using it implies you have an old CPU that won't keep up, and for two, it's PCIe1 which means the second slot is effectively only 2x, which will cripple your performance. New system time by the sounds of it.

Thanks sam,

I've got a q9450 @ 3.6Ghz paired with a 4870

Saw that [H]otdeal for the 6850s for $110 each and got me thinking.

Looks like I'll prolly grab a 6950 around black friday
