I'm also waiting for ATI to release its R600 series video cards. They will be competing with the nvida 8800 series. Nvidia will also be releasing their next gen mid and low end cards soon too.

IMO it's a good time to kill a little time, do a little research & wait for the newer stuff right on the horizon.

agreed. i have the 965p-ds3 mobo and it's fantastic. i has all the overclocking features you need. the only thing that doesn't allow me to overclock more is my memory. as for the r600's, i don't know how many cards they are going to release, but if it's more than 1 type (like nvidia has the 8800gts/gtx models) then i might wait and see what ati brings to the table.

i personally don't see the point in going sli right now, with so many big gfx cards coming out with so much more power, i see very little point paying all that money and getting 2. u might as well put ur money towards a nice single pci-e mobo (the gigabyte i bought was a great price) and put more money towards a nicer single card, which will be fine i think for anything u throw at it.

p.s i believe the only difference between the ds3 and the s3 boards by gigabyte is that the ds3 has all-solid capacitors...so if you have no need for that then you can save some more money there and get the s3. i also have the m55 sli-s4 by gigabyte which is a very cheap sli board now, but i don't know how well it overclocks (note: the m55 sli-s4 is a socket am2 mobo, not 775). hope this helps.
