Default Asus Striker 2 Formula, some questions
Hey guys, I've got my eye on the Asus Striker 2 Formula mobo thats out, just got a few questions about it.
1. Can you run 2 say 8800GTS graphics cards on it instead of three?
2. Is it worth the 470 odd dolars (AUD)
3. If it isn't, or if theres another mobo out there thats got either the nForce 680i chipset out there thats worth its money please tell me.
(Main reason is cos I cannot find the OCing part on my motherboards BIOS)
my mobo is the Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3 mobo.

To be honest, if I was going to go all-out, I would get a motherboard with DDR3 support. I don't see any reason to buy that one, put two 8800GTs in it and then get hit less than six months later with obsolescence. You have a good board, I wouldn't pay that much for SLI support when a current single card can run almost everything.

thanks for the reply, i guess i do have a good enough board but I still can't find where to OC my cpu in the BIOS. I've looked in the manual and it wasn't much help. Any help?

Sometimes you have to snoop around a bit, a lot of them call the FSB adjuster menu "Cell Menu" or something stupid.
