Cool! Thanks Atomic! That really help me out a bit, but now...the PCI slots and PCI Express Slots are confusing me, also the RAID, and the SLI graphic card and ATI Crossfire?

The PCI slots are used for connecting additional accessories???

The SLI only accepts Nvidia while Crossfire accepts only ATI???

P.S: I'm looking for a motherboard that can be for a gamer, but when they mean SLI or Crossfire, does it mean they can handle two graphic cards???

Thanks! For replies!

Oh and I almost forgot. The Optical Drive should be IDE while the Hard Drive should be SATA 3.0 right???
