Budget SLI Board?

I am looking for a good quality SLI board for around $125 or less, do they exist at that price? It would need to be able to get 300mhz fsb.

Also, do you think that this psu will be able to cope with two 8800gt's?
 
There are a bunch of SLI x8 mbs such as GIGABYTE GA-N650SLI-DS4 and MSI P6N SLI Platinum. A retail box of SLI x16 mb costs more than $150.

TDP of 8800 GT is 110W. So 348W MAX at 12V should be fine.
 
Thank you for your advice! I was looking around on newegg and found this, it has a ton of good reviews and benchmarks, and is only $85 after rebate! I think I found my match 🙂
 
I really like my Asus P5N-E SLI. Not one hiccup (WinXP) on either 0608 (shipping BIOS) or the latest 0703 BIOS. It was 119$ when I got it. There is a large P5N-E thread here so take a gander. As for the Sparkle PSU and 8800GTS's in SLI I would not for peace of mind, BUT it would probably run it. Nvidia recommends ~26A+ on the 12V rail for a midrange SLI config. The combined amps on that Sparkle should be ~29A. Good luck 😉
