Very hot when you consider that the board is a rebadged $129 Jetway that AT just reviewed and is a great overclocker!

 

[Boogak]

Careful, if you click on the free motherboard specifications, it's the EVGA motherboard without SLI.

 

[JAH]

Apparently, to ge the free SLI version of the board, you need to buy the combo that comes with Battlefield 2 here ($469 + $9.50 shipping).

 

[gi0rgi0]

yeah, its not the sli version.

Damnit! I already have BF2. Grumble.

You can sell it and make some money back.

Nice find.

Even better deal if this can be applied. $30 mir http://www.monarchcomputer.com/rebates/190462.pdf

 

[nguyen1025]

is the non-sli identical except for the 3 pcie ports?

 

[gi0rgi0]

Ive read a couple of reviews on both and it seems that the sli is better. The non sli's test benches werent as good.
Heres the review of the jetway sli which is basically the evga one http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=2506
And heres the link to the non sli http://www.motherboards.org/reviews/motherboards/1533_6.html and another review of the
non-sli more recent looking http://www.sysopt.com/reviews/evganf4-thomas/

nguyen1025 - according to the package content pics at Monarch, there is no difference at all between the two boards BUT you only get the SLI bridge with the more expensive board.

 

[Skyhanger]

If you get the SLI one, it also comes with BF2. Frankly, I think that's worth the $30 difference. Plus the fact you have the peace of mind knowing it's the "good" jetway board for sure.

Are you sure this rebate can apply to any 7800GT combo purchase? The Monarch rebate center listed only the eVGA 7800GT w/ no combos. (the $400 one)

 

[gi0rgi0]

Yeah, i edited my post to reflect that it may not work. But its still a good deal if your in a state that gets taxed by the evga site.
I live in cal and going through evga was charging me $495. And at monarch its 478.50 total and with BF2.
