The P6T7 SuperComputer from Asus is an X58 motherboard, so that should mean only two PCIe 2.0 x16 slots (with full x16 lanes). But this board also adds two n200 chips to enable an additional two full PCIe 2.0 x16 lanes.
Technically, on paper, I see no reason why it wouldn't support QuadFire. But I know from experience that in actual practice, things can be different.
Anyone have any knowledge or experiences to share regarding this? I don't know if anyone would have (yet) built a system with QuadFire on this, given nVidia's dominance in the market until recently (and if they did, it was probably two 4870x2s). But for that very reason I imagine someone has done at least Tri-SLI on it, and could give a good review of at least that (did you get a stable system, does the n200 chip really work well paired with X58, questions questions).
