i'm not real sure but i think i read somewhere that the cards have to be the same.
like with the (running two 8600's) without any problems.

The cards have to be the same to run SLI or CrossFire and then take advantage of the respective technology.
But you may use different cards in some mobos just to run for example 3 or 4 monitors.
The actual problem is that the X38 (intel i think) does allow to crossfire (ATI) or use only 1 Nvidia graphics card.
So using SLI/CrossFire is totally different that using 2 differen cards.
