No, I thought that too but it's not true. 2x PCIe is for extra displays I think (even when it's Nforce 4), unless it's an Nforce 4 SLI motherboard. I bought one for my brother's computer and unless it's an SLI board, it doesn't support it.

Concerning zAAms awesome motherboard though. Doesn't it have the Nforce4 chipset? Isn't that all you would need to support SLI if you had 2 PCI-E x16 slots, even though it doesn't specifically say supports SLI? I imagine this board was designed more for serveing and number crunching more than gaiming, so it would be understandable if the left SLI out of their description since that does not really matter to their primary clientel.

No, he has a socket 754 board with a VIA chipset.

No, the nForce4 chipset doesn't specifically support SLI. It has to be a nForce4 SLI chipset. That's why I believe it probably doesn't support SLI although it might be possible?? Odds are it's just to run more displays yeah, or maybe massive RAID controller cards? Although 16x is a bit much for any RAID I guess...
