I'm thinking of building a new system for my friend, and he only has a mouse and monitor, and i have a pretty decent budget to work with. I want to sli two 8800gt's but i don't know if they're completely compatible with the motherboard I've chosen.
8800GT (2)
Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe, with the nVidia 590 chipset
is that chipset able to support the pcie 2.0 cards? i heard that nVidia's cards weren't compatible with older mobos with pcie 1.0 and 1.1.
Help would be much appreciated!
