    Hmm is there known problems with it? Or is it just that SLI isn't worth to go for dual video cards on this board? If not recommend the premium then what board do you prefer over it?

    haven't built a pc in quite a while

    I'm rather new to these forums and thought it would be best to ask questions here. My last build was almost 5 years ago and I'm currently looking to start from scratch. Although I don't know if I should wait a couple months as I've read numerous times about nvidia/amd coming out with new...

    Lexa vs Aurora???

    The Gigabyte 3d Aurora has a windowed version, not sure if this is what you were hoping for instead of the mesh side panel. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811233003
