After much of my research I am starting to come to the conclusion that the Nvidia SLI chipset with INtel cpus appears to be a crapshoot with emphasis on CRAP!
Asus mobos seem to have tons of issues....
MSI boards have reboot issues....
A few spatterings of comments about EVGA and XFX as well....
Lee me tell you what I really want....
1) I want 2 pci-express 2.0 slots capable of 16x when in SLI.....
I want to place my (2) 9800GT superclocks in SLI
2) I want 3 overall pxi-epress slots.....I dont mind if they are in 8x when occupying all 3
I do some folding as well and would like to maximize my 750 watt PC...folding with gpus is much more bang for the buck with video cards. (1) 125 dollar video card can almost double up my qx6700@3.46ghz running all 4 cores in an SMP client. So 3 of them only takes 3 cores for polling (around 25% in vista or one core) for about 400 dollars will 6x the output of my system before the cards. I couldn't even build one system for that.
Does this mean I can only look at 780i chips? If so tell me the brand that is worth it....
