Just to say it: i did not list any DFI mobos because ive heard to many mixed reviews, and to much 'hit and miss' reviews. Unless someone here gives me a good reason to get a DFI Ultra-D board, i most likely wont go that way................
With that said, these are the three mobos im stuck on.....
1) The Asus A8N SLI Deluxe
Ive had an Asus K8V before, and i loved how stable it was, and i love how this board offers some overclocking
2) EPoX EP-9NPA+ SLi
Newegg finally picked up the SLI Epox mobo, and ive never used Epox but all i here is great things from them
3)EPoX EP-9NPA+Ultra
This is my non-SLI choice, as im still trying to decide if i need SLI or not......
Ok, just to let you know, im upgrading for the purpose of future upgradability, meaning that if in a year or two i want to get a slightly better CPU, or video card, i dont have to change my whole system to do it.
With that said, do i need SLI?
I mean, the Epox Ultra is a nice board, and its also very cheap, but its not SLI, its that a problem for me if i want an upgradable system, or will SLI eventually be phased out by faster single graphics cards (ie, 7800GTX's)???
And if i do want SLI, which board would be better to squeeze the most out of my San Diego 3700+??? (the epox or asus)???
Thanks.
