I was given some computer parts and decided to build a system out them.

My question is can I put a single x1600xt crossfire video card onto a nForce 4 SLI motherboard?

I asked some friends, some said yes and some say no. I have searched around and have found nothing but compatibility articles on how to use either SLI or Crossfire.

Thank you

Yeah, you shouldn't have any problem running a single card in an SLI board. It's just that the whole crossfire thing isn't going to happen if you add another card :p
 
I was hoping that I could install the crossfire card (the motherboard has no built in video) until I can save enough to get a pair of SLI cards

yeah, that'd be fine. I'm assuming you got this x1600 for free?
 
Yes, I have been reading enough artcles on the net to know that I should go with SLI
