So in other words, SLI is just for the capability of running dual videocards?
so if the most sophisticated game I play is World of Warcraft, on a 20.5 inch LCD, are you saying that SLI is a waist of time?
If thats the case, I need help, because I was building a new system, this is what I purchased so far:
EVGA nVidia 8600GTS 512MB V-Card
2gb Corsair ram PC2-6400 at 800Mhz
Need help on the board, and the Power Supply needed, I run 4 Sata 320 Seagate drives, and 1x 60Gb IDE with my Windows XP Operating System.
as of now, I have to wait a month on the CPU chip, but I have the Intel P4 TH 3.2 Ghz chip, and will be upgrading to a Duo2 Core 6850 Chip in a month or so.
So I must have a board that can run the Intel P4, and is upgradable to the Duo2 Core chip.
Also be able to have the Sata connections needed, 6 would be better.
I will never run 2 video cards at once, so only 1 PCIe x16 is needed I would think.
But I have no Idea what is the first thing to look into, as far as the type of board and things, as you seen, I was about to buy a SLI board, not even knowing why. Also my Mobo budget is in the $200 range.
