A ? about the DFI Lanparty UT NF4 SLI-D and 8800gtx

[SiC420]

I have the DFI Lanparty UT NF4 SLI-D Motherboard and was planning on buying two 8800GTX Ultra's when they come down in price a little.. my question is will they fit fine in this motherboard? The cards just look a lot bigger than previous ones so I wanted to makes sure that they will both fit in my motherboard before buying both of them.

Thanks in advance!

The board is not an issue, it's whether or not you will be able to fit them in your case. The cards are very long and will hit the hard drive cage on some cases.

the 8800 series requries dual 16x slots w/ the full 16X PCI-E lanes for each slot so for SLI if your planing on doing that w/ the SLR-DR it won't work at it only has dual x8 slots (electricial) for SLI. Single card will work fine as will dual cards for mulitple monitors just not SLI from what I've read.

This is not correct. You can do x8/x8 SLI with the G80. The 8800GTX will lose a few % in that mode compared to full x16/x16 SLI, but otherwise it's fine.
