[QUOTE="Spr33, post: 713298, member: 65120"] I am pretty new to the hardware of macs because I normally work with PCs. I have a couple questions about the Mac Pro. Firstly, from what I can tell, I'm assuming that the Mac Pro doesn't support a SLI config or a Crossfire config but it does support multiple video cards. Is this correct? Am I also correct in assuming that when you have multiple video cards, this doesn't actually speed up GPU processes, it just allows for extra monitors? Second, if I wanted to be able to use SLI, would I be able to build a custom PC and take the parts from a Mac Pro and stick them into another mobo that support SLI. AKA are there parts in a Mac Pro that won't work outside of the Mac Pro motherboard? Or any problems I'll run into with support of hardware in a case. [/QUOTE]
