    Looking for a Motherboard

    Yes, and the DS3 would be my first choice if that was my budget, just make sure you get one of the latest revisions, as the bugs have been worked on. if you want to go with a Nvidia board so you can get SLI in the future, I have had the EVGA 680i, Abit 680i, Asus 650i, and Abit Fatal1ty 650i...

    Looking for a Motherboard

    To run 8800GTX in SLI do the cards have to be Identical?

    I already own a BFG 8800GTX, I am going to get another GTX so that I can run SLI on my 650i motherboard. My question is, do I have to get another BFG 8800GTX (Same model and PN) or can I use any brand 8800 GTX? The reason I ask is because I want to get which ever 8800GTX is on sale or...
