actually, the difference between those 2 boards is only about $40. Not really enough to seriously upgrade anything...but there probably will come a time when that $40 will make a difference.
But, how much is the difference between an SLI board and non-SLI? $100? cuz that's the minimum I'd need to upgrade a video card or cpu. | |

Welcome to TechIMO, the DFI looked good.

I strongly recommend against getting SLI, unless you have money to burn. It's not worth it right now.

To have it now, so when it does settle into the gaming industry, it'll be already there, waiting for a second video card to kick the crap out of any game? | |

Well, if you can wait ATI's crossfire should be showing up soon. Crossfire looks like it will be much better than SLI, but we'll have to wait and see... | |
