I heard that it only supports DVI monitors, is it true?

I saw a picture of it, there were two slots with only DVI monitors, but I hear there is a converter for it.
On a side note:
Is there anything special I have to do when I want two video cards to run for only one monitor?

May need to disable one of them, hardware conflicts can happen from 2.
Device manager to disable one.

So basically, I don't need another one?
And what does Crossfire do? Would that help in anyway?

A DVI to VGA adapter will be included in the package. As for your second question, no.

Well kinda, they don't use the same rendering modes, ATI has 4 modes and SLI has 2. Here's a simple explanation.

I have the same video card, there's an adapter as someone above me just said. DVI is better than VGA but I'm assuming you have a VGA Monitor. Good luck with the card, it's suppose to be really good. New Computer is Formatting Hard Drive right now. 37%. :]

| If you SLI with a 8600, It should be on Par with a 8800GT.
