SLI worth it?

The "point" is mostly about being able to extend the life of a machine by adding in another graphics card at, hopefully, a dirt cheap price (at that point in the future.)

Your ability to upgrade a processor would be contingent on AMD's sticking with 939... which is likely for a while at least, I guess, abeit uncertain.

As for whether you "should" or not.. thats really a question only you can answer. How big a gamer are you? How often do you upgrade and whats your budget?

I'm jaded enough by issues that I'd rather go with tested technology... thats been out at least a couple of months, when people have had a chance to report widespread issues... so I wouldn't go with SLI just yet myself, anyway.

if you do not want to shell out the cash for the 300 workstation mobo with dual sli slot , u can buy the gigabit dual sli pci e video card, it bridges it directly on the card. This way you dont need to buy a dual slot pcie board.

Sorry for the bump, but can you give me a link to that card please, thanks.
