Yes, you will need two PCI-express slots to run two cards in parallel.

you need a board with 2 PCI-E 16x (i.e. one with SLI support) slots to have 2 PCI-E video cards in one motherboard unless they make any in a 1x slot in future, but that's not likely

So far Intel doesnt support SLI yet only the new nforce 4 ultra and SLI chipsets do. In order to do SLI you would need 2x PCI-E 16x or 1x PCI-E 16x and 1x PCI-E 2x together.

U mean AMD.

why do you need two video cards ?, out of interest

For SLI, that means each card builds half of your screen to increase performance.
