From my understanding,
Only intel mobos (2x PCI x16) with the 975 chipset support nvidia SLI (You can't run two geforces as a "single" GPU) Other intel chipsets do not support SLI. All AMD mobos with 2x PCI x16 support SLI
All mobo's (2x PCI x16)support Crossfire because the connection is made between the GPU's (Does not utilize the mobo to transfer data).
Using a ATI and NVidia on one mother board results in 2 GPU's operating seperately (You can do whatever windows graphics control lets you do IE: 2 identical monitor displays, but you cannot utilize driver supported displays if you had two ATI's or 2 NVidia's IE: split your desktop to 2 monitors)
Correct?
