See this article or this other article for a thorough explanation of what SLI and Crossfire are, and how they differ. As for compatiblity, you can only run SLI with a NVIDIA chipset and two NVIDIA cards, and Crossfire with an ATI/AMD or Intel chipset and two ATI/AMD cards.

two ATI/AMD cards.

Not true, you can run 3 or 4 as well. You can run 4 in SLi as well but Quad-SLi isn't very well supported.
