The Aurora motherboard does not have any PCI slots. It has the following - PCIe x16 PCIe x1 PCIe x16 PCIe x1
If you buy a dual video card solution, we do not give you the option of adding a PCIe x1 sound card since the video cards will cover the PCIe x1 slots.
There was a thread around here somewhere about that same topic. I am pretty sure if you want to go SLI, the 240 is the biggest card you can do. The 260 is a dual slot card.
okay, its really not that big of a deal. id much rather have 2 gtx 260s then a sound card. i guess they have the realtek 7.1 HD onboard sound so that should be fine.
240 sli is ok as the 240 is a single slot card. 260 and above is a no-go as the cards are dual slot cards and the pci-e 1x are overshadowed by the graphics card

If it's an Aurora I don't think you can.

Dual GTX 260s are in the sales configurator. Are you saying that is a mistake?
