1st off im new here so.. hi, neways i have a problem, im in the process of choosing a new motherboard but im stuck between picking:

a ddr2 and ddr3 motherboard (like the asus p5kc) so i can upgrade my RAM sometime in the future
or
a nvidia sli motherboard so i can use two graphic cards when i get round to buying another card

this computer will be used for running games like crysis and farcry2 (that sort of stuff)

Personnaly I would just stay with DDR2 and a non-multi GPU solution, but if you have money to spend, SLI would be the better idea. Since ddr3 barely gives any boots to performance.

You're money would be better spent getting the sli board. ddr3 offers little-to-no boost in performance.
