Got a new mobo laying around... what should I do?

[ebeattie]

Hi. Well I am currently running a DFI lan party nf4 sli-DR mobo. I was originally running an SLI setup using two 7900 GTO's. Well, SLI quit working on the DFI (one card would go blank on startup, the other blank once windows loaded) and I bought an ASUS A8n32 mobo that I was going to use to replace it.

Well, I have since stepped up one of the GTO's for the 8800 GTX, and sold off the other one. I decided that I dont really like SLI; poor upgrade path...EXPENSIVE... just wasnt for me. Plus the GTX is running like a champ and Im beginning to think that the SLI connector between the two cards may have been the problem.

Anyway, what would you guys do? I dont feel like tearing apart my rig AGAIN just to replace a mobo with features on it that I only got to run SLI full bore. Now that I dont run SLI and my card is running fine by itself, this extra board is kinda useless to me.

its new in box with me only opening it to check the contents.

so what would u do? put her in or sell her?

No reason to put it in if it's useless to you. Where'd you get it from? You can always return it and swallow the restocking fee, or just sell it in the FS/FT forum. Someone else who uses SLI will want it.

Put it to work crunching. Folding@Home, SETI@Home, DPAD, BOINC, etc.

Throw it down the stairs, jump on it, and put the video on youtube.
