    Heyy guys,

    Im looking for a new mainboard. It must support SLI I dropped my attention to this board:

    Asus A8N-SLI nForce4 SLI

    Anybody else got suggestions/ideas ?

    Im tired of my single 6600 GT and I want to place another 1 with him :P

    EDIT: Pref a passive cooled bridge.

    A DFI Lanparty Ultra-D is better.
    You should buy a 7800GT instead of a new motherboard and second gfx card. its better and should work out cheaper.

    Yea what he said^

    a single 7800 would be better and cheaper. and you can put more money towards a better 7800 too..

    no it doesnt. dont bother with a 512mb 7800gtx. If you have that kind of money get the x1800XT as I believe its cheaper and performs pretty much the same.

    ^^^7800GTX Outperforms the X1800XT, it's the X1900 that's the top dog.

    Anyway, there are no more new 7800GTX512s being sold that I know of, and ones that are are in the range of $750. Better of with a 7800GT (or even GTX256), or a X1800/X1900 than dual 6600GTs.
