Building an SLI System.
Hey, I saw this board a few times over the last few days.
Was hoping you guys might help me. Im currently looking at this mobo http://www.ebuyer.com/product/138575...ctype=extended Now, its crossfire ready, does that mean its also SLI ready? If not, Could you help me find a board that fills these requirements? 2 PCI Express slots (16x2) SLI support 775 Socket type ddr3 Ram. 1333+ FSB. Any help is appreciated, Ive pulled my hair out the last 2 days. |

Re: Building an SLI System.
Crossfire = ATI
SLI = Nvidia you cant use 2 nvidia cards on a crossfire mobo. Look at the striker extreme, This is an awesome motherboard. http://www.ebuyer.com/product/126240 |

 DDR3 is still too expensive for the relatively small speed increase.

Re: Building an SLI System.
Yes, the 9600Gt would be the same price.
But, I kinda enjoy the idea of SLI, its a cool concept to have two cards working. Also If I do decide to upgrade, Giving friends new video cards/selling is nice too. Ill consider both. However, Still. power supply, anyone? |

Re: Building an SLI System.
I still stick with my 9600 it atm is the only cost effecient card to sli, but if you really want sli with 8600's
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139005 you could go alittle cheaper but this will last you along time and work with both setups
