I Don't think your grasping the whole SLI thing... all a 3 way SLI board is, is 3 PCI-Express Physical 16x slots, be it 8x 8x 8x, or 16x 16x 16x, or some other combination... a Quad SLI board would be 4 slots, etc...
you should be able to run 2x 9800GX2's in a triple SLI slot board no problems. as far as I know the only Quad SLI setup's I've seen consist of 2x 9800GX2's or the old 7950GX2's...

3 x PCIe 2.0 x16 support NVIDIA SLI Tech @ dual x16 or 3-way@x8, x8, x 8

so for the 2x 9800GX2's they'd be using the Dual slot SLI, 16x 16x config. |
