Default motherboard help

Second best SLI board on the market, so nicely spec'd.

But I hope you're going to be gaming above 1920x1200 and also on a number of SLI coded games or that setup (the 2 GTS's) is a waste of money.

If gaming at a lower resolution, say 1680x1050, you'd be better with a single GTS or a GT.

If you do go the dual card route though ensure you purchase a psu with power in the region of 750w, and also ensure you have a top end cpu (E6850 would be my choice for that setup).

Default motherboard help

Actually in the benchmarks,the 8800GT beat the 8800GTS

http://forums.nvidia.com/lofiversion...hp?t50614.html

So if you are going single card,i'd get the 8800GT.
