Seriously, if you're not a "gamer" then why even bother with SLI? SLI is a neat "thing" but you might find yourself just as content with a good Nforce4 Ultra MB vs. a SLI motherboard.. you'll get same functionality, etc. and with a low performance card, you may be better off. Most SLI boards = 3 PCI slots. Whereas Nforce4 boards are the traditional 4/5 with more PCI-Express x1s and more PCI slots.
Just a thought for you to consider. Nforce4 Ultra boards will also support the X2 just fine ;) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Edwards Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2005 5:33 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [H] so any system recomendations On recent builds that worked for you? I'm looking for a decent motherboard that will last awhile. MSI K8N Neo4/SLI Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard looks like a good choice since MSI seams to have a dual core upgrade path. > http://www.msicomputer.com/msiapps/SLICampaign.aspx Jin-Wei had this suggestion for processor "4) Cheap - get a Venice 90nm 3000+ and go wild with the OC'ing (my old Socket-754 3000+ still OC'es pretty nicely)" What kind of cooling? PCI-E video that will allow SLI down the road. I'm looking at a refurb from newegg... Leadtek WinFast PX350 TDH Geforce PCX5900 128MB 256-bit DDR PCI Express x16 Video Card I'm not interested in paying much for a video card. I don't game that much since most of it moved to the console. Memory... 1 gig good stuff with out the "overclocker" "high performance" tags that wants a premium price tag.
