Both, lol, now here is a neat question!
As the motherboard has 2 PciE slots and can be used for SLI, can I have a
FX3400 in one slot and the GF7800 in the other, I am not talking about SLI
in this case.
Then would it be possible to select each Graphic card for each program?
Ie the 3400 for cad and the 7800 for UT2004 ?

This seems to differ from your answer, or did I read it wrong?

Where in your URL does it say anything about using the monitors
separately? I can't see it.

You read it wrong. Any configuration of two video cards requires that
they have identical GPUs. You cannot successfully use a Quadro FX3400
and a 7800GTX in the two PCI-E slots.
I have never said that, but if it can use two monitors, then I can just plug
my monitor into either card.

This differs from your statement, I am not saying you are wrong, but you are
saying that they are wrong.

i don't think it works with PCI E cards. I say this because PCI-E SLI boards
seperate their bandwidth between the two ports. Normally a PCI E port has 16
bus lanes, in SLI 16/2=8 each. a fx 3400, not being a SLI card i don't think
will work. However if you use a PCI card i'm pretty sure you can get it to
work then.
