stupid question, does the Intel X38 chipset supports Nvidia SLi?

Nope. You will have to go with nForce based mobo if you want SLi.

I dont get why Intel supports ATI crossfire chipsets as ATI is owned by AMD...

Its not related with ATI. Intels mobos are the best for over clocking, nVidia's mobos have sli. Now combine good overclocking and sli on a Intel mobo. No one will going to buy nVidia's motherboards.

Skulltrail. I sure hope too it will be implemented on a wider scale though.

Big fat motherboards like that tend to be a bit hampered. I'd rather just get a regular old intel board with PCIe 2.0.

No Sli there.

Why would I want to buy two video cards when I could just buy one and upgrade it to something newer later?

Because you can get one cheap 8800GT now and one even cheaper later when the price falls.

TBH, PCIe 2.0 is pretty useless right now, because no video card will use that much bandwidth. There is no performance difference between 1 and 2.

I recommend Asus P5E X38. It has served me well.
