I'm planning on building a budget gaming pc for a friend and I found some killer deals on craigslist. Now I know you can't use 2 crossfire cards in an sli motherboard, but does it matter if I'm only using 1 card. I know this is a dumb question but just wanted to make sure.

SLI and CFX (crossfireX) only matter when you are handling 2 cards, so 1 shouldn't make any difference. anyway, most SLI certified motherboard can also do crossfire, what motherboard do you have?
