[Inspector Jihad]

you could wait for the 3850 agp...thats what i'm doing. i don't have the time nor the funds to do a full upgrade...i think my x2 4200 and 3850 will be bff.

It is a known issue with AGP ATI cards (the newer ones). I am not a moron when it comes to installing things. I tried everything there was to try, then I throw the 6800GT back in and I get double the FPS in WoW. Nvidia knows whats going on.

My bad, didn't realize it was a known issue with the new cards.

Since I can't get an answer on the motherboard forums, what do you guys think about this?

Will it overclock well? I would like something for SLI so I can throw in another 8800GT at a later time.

Don't know about its overclockability. But its not like you have too many options for a board if you are going for SLI.
Gigabyte is generally very good, I would say its my second choice after asus. But you might want to dig a bit more to make sure this board is a good overclocker.

Is there any motherboard you can recommend to me for around 100 bucks that has SLI and is a good overclocker?

How do you think all of this would work together?

Will my 480W Antec PSU be enough for all of this?

That combo looks fine. Just realize the DS3L is not SLI.

Also, wasn't your budget "around $400" ?

I decided to just bite the bullet and get some quality parts.
