ASUS A8N SLI [or] DFI LanParty nF4 SLI-DR

[#43 fan]

I'm just saying-you don't need it right now, but you can get it, if you wish.
Oh, exactly what are the rest of your specs? If you want to save $100, you can get the MSI NEO4-F. Best board for the money.
Don't worry, there's nothing wrong w/ SLI, it just isn't worth it right now.

Do you know when that's going to come out?

[EXreaction]

No idea. Wish I did.

Edit: I guess that I should know a little bit more before I post.

haha, it's cool

[mateo leet-o]

ya but the argument against sli is that the new 7xxx series is coming out for nvidia and those cards might* be more powerful than say your 2 6800gt's

*i don't know, i'm saying maybe

[Magnum6]

Hahahaha, dang. I need to know when all this possibly "revolutionary" stuff is coming out...this 7xxx thing you're talking about, then the ATI's Crossfire (oh yea, the Crossfire car is sweet) anyway. I need an estimate or something as to how long until this stuff comes out so I can determine whether to wait or not

here's some info about the 7800 series
that is the most expensive one so the cheapest one( which will still probably be really powerful) will probably ~$400 by my pure speculation
oh and i heard the 7800's will be out by the end of this month

[Magnum6]

oh DAAAAAAAAANG. $639????!!!!!! That's suicide... I'll have to pass. That's way to crazy for me

But that part at the bottom, where the 6800 Ultra costs $100 more, thats interesting...hehe

Well, sometimes companys like to rip you off with upgrades. Ever see upgrades from a $200 cpu to a 55 FX for $800? You can buy the 55 FX for $820! So what I am saying is that the price could be anywhere from $500 to $700.
