Discussion: Finding The Best Sli Motherboard

Well I was hoping to get some help from a few of you that have experience a range of SLI motherboards, I currently have a

ASUS A8N-SLI Motherboard
2x 6600GT's

Well funnily enough I am wanting to setup another computer (i'm greedy) but I'm not wanting the ASUS board again (stoopid chipset fun was stuffed when I got it so replaced with northbridge heatsink much quiter).Plus I want to try sumthing different.

following boards are available for me to buy here in Australia, WA

ABIT-AN8-SLI Series
DFI LanParty Series
Gigiabyte A8N Series
Epox EP-9NPA

Now from what I have read the DFI LanParty series are probably the best but I would like to find some who can compare the pro's and cons of each board.

Plus is it better to go for a 6600GT factory overclocked or a 7800 GT Standard?

I have no experience with SLI mobo's, but if you want to overclock, then go for the DFI. But avoid the DFI Expert motherboard, it's a real killer (it already killed a lot of cpu's at xtremesystems).

And if I were you, I'd go for the 7800GT, because when you overclock it, it'll be faster than the 6600GT overclocked.

Motherboard/Graphix Card Compatability Help - (3)
I just bought a gigabyte K8N pro SLI mother board for a friend at a computer swap meet. At the meet
(rather than take the 2 seconds to look myself /rolleyes.gif' border='0'
style='vertical-align:middle' alt='rolleyes.gif' /> ) i asked the man i was buying it from whether
the board took PCIE or AGP graphix cards, he told me they took AGP, of course i then went and bought
an AGP card (Winfast A6600GT 128m). Is there no way that i can use my AGP card (short of buying a
new motherboard)? Thanks in advance for any help....

Alternative Mobo - Need help in finding a cheap alternative. (4)

My current motherboard: MSI 865PE NEO 2 MS-6728 Ver.1 I've done quite a few tests and it's
