OK so here is the deal, i had an issue blah blah blah, fast forward to today, i need a new MB, CPU, MEM
I HAVE a pair of EVGA 8800 GTS 640's that from the best i can tell will mesh fine with pcie 2.0
I want to run them in SLI of course, and i am noticing that most of the modern MB's support ATI's crossfire, and im not sure what effect that will have on these cards.
also these cards are 2 slot cards.
since i need to upgrade i want to run a phenom x4 965 black (preferably 140w)
so naturaly i want an am3 board for mem purposes
but i am confused since much of the pcie technology has changed and gone more towards the crossfire
what do i need to look for in a modern MB to be able to run these in SLI
upgrading graphics card is not an option right now
any recomendations on boards for this config welcome
Thanx in advance
