Hmmm .....I don't believe the Aurora can be configured with dual video cards and an audio card as well,because of the limitation of only two PCIE slots on the motherboard.

I think some of the lower-end  ATI-AMD cards only use a single slot each. This leaves the 2 PCIe-1x slots unblocked and usable.

Mikey - the AMD 5670 is a single slot card and two of them in an Aurora will leave two PCI-e x1 slots available.  The SB X-fi only uses one x1 PCI-e slot so you are ok.
