K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI

[gvayl]

Hi,
I'm thinking of buying this for my Althon 64 3500. The difference between Platinum and SLI is $25. Therefore I thought maybe its better to get the SLI one? The thing is I don't know if I want to buy 2 video cards right now. Will the SLI one run on one video card?

Also is the K8N Neo4 a good card for my 3500? I plan to overclock...although I don't know how to do that. This will be my first computer that I build. Any advice is really appreciated. Thank you.

Also, I heard some people having problems with the MSI boards...SLI or regular. Would going with DFI be better?

You will also hear of people having problems with the DFI. Choose the best board based on their features, the chances of being happy are very high with either one of them.
