The idea was that they'd be two identical, ordinary cards.  If it was 
easy it would be kind of nice but otherwise not worth bothering with.  
As a PCI card, the bus would be an even worse bottleneck.  Textures 
would have to be loaded onto both cards, the lights would dim.  I just 
mentioned it for completeness.
