I need two identical cards for SLi, right? Imagining a day where I'll be so spendy as to buy two new video cards, I figure I will also be able to buy a new SLi motherboard to go with them. I'll spit in a homeless man's face on the way home just to really show that's I've arrived.
Thats a way of saying I'll probably get the non-SLi non-Firewire version of that board, the Asus A8N-E.
I googled around on that variant and it looks like a solid board and a good choice. Firewire comes free with Audigy boards so no huge loss there. As for the SLI, yes FUCK having that option available. Though prices drop, people give away older vid cards, the homeless sold to organ harvesters. Shit happens. Price grabber is showing me A8N-Es at $104.00, A8N-SLIs at $117.00 and A8N-SLI Deluxes at $150.00 I have no idea what the state of the Canadian economy is, or if this is a more a philosophical issue with you, but I might be tempted to kick in the extra $13-33 bucks to keep doors open.
An even more frugal solution is the Asus A8N5X. Which is almost guaranteed to make the homeless smile and nod in approval as you head home from the motherboard store. |

OK HOW ABOUT THE MOTHERBOARD? by Fussbett 12/26/2005, 1:02pm PST 
You can't run an AMD processor on that motherboard. That is the WRONG choice. NT by Motherhead 12/26/2005, 4:21pm PST 
Also, what do I need to know about SATA? Nothing? NT by Fussbett 12/26/2005, 2:39pm PST
