ok tech kids, need some help
im building a new system for my bro, casual gamer, but i want him to have a new rig.
trying to decide between an am2 or core 2 duo setup.
am2 with sli (one 7900gt for now) and such is cheaper (3800 san diego, maybe X2 4200)
core 2 can only get a crossfire board (for 100 bucks more) and would need an x1900 (x1800 cant find a master board, and more expensive)
so. if i can get a cheap sli board for the 6300 id love to get it and overclock it. but am2 is a new chipset too, and could get a sli board much cheaper.
so my first question is which setup to follow, and the next question is can someone find a good cheap board for core 2 duo with SLI?
thanks
