Made it an exclusive here by taking it to PhotoChop and putting my Avatar on the GPUs. However, this is supposed to be a Dual GTX 480 board being designed by Asus. Not only that, it's supposed to run in SLI with 4 cards. You can Google it....Man is that sick or what? You'd need dual 1kw power supplies to run 4 of them. Either that or a single monster 1.8kw, if something like that is even available. I've never seen one. Just look at that thing with 3x8 pin power connectors, and all the regulators.
Sorry Steve, my new line of Girly Football wear will debut on EPCZone.
However, on a more serious note, I did just order 2 eVGA GTX 460 cards for SLI for my machine. The ol' GTX 280 has served me well but I need some of that DX11, Tessellation goodness. Should have them in a few days. I've been doing a lotta Googleing, amazing results from anyone who has benchmarked them. They seem to OC like crazy, and a pair of 460s generally out performs a single 480 by about 5% to 15%, depending on the app. Not bad considering they cost a lot less than a 480, run cooler and use less power. I've really been impressed with what I've read about them. Didn't even wait for a price drop like I usually do....ordered a couple of 'em staright away!

Its Quad SLI capable, as in two cards and four GPUs. You cant do four actual cards in SLI.
You could probably do it and two normal 480s though.
