Man, that whole category of motherboards are hurting. I had to replace my nvidia based board, and instead buying the crap that is out there that is nvidia + 775, I just dropped SLI and got a P45 board -- and I'm loving it.

For your price range... I guess you could pick up something older, like a nvidia 600i series mobo (cannot find those on newegg though).

Unless you up your price (look at these 700i series boards... lowest around $120), you not going to find anything worth spending money on, IMHO.

(as you start getting sub-$100 on nvidia boards, they begin to not have SLI)

ok.. is this a good buy for 120 bucks then? http://www.xfxforce.com/en-us/products/motherboards/7series/750i.aspx

Are you tied to NVIDIA cards? Because really, P45 is great.

 

[BruceOTB]

unfortunately, yes. I already have the 9800gt and i cant afford to go ati anymore

So you've got two 9800s? Even then, the satisfaction of an awesome P45 board is worth more to me than running 2 9800s in SLI on an nvidia 750i chipset.

I run two nvidia 8800gts cards on a P45 board. I don't get to take advantage of SLI, but I still get to run my 3 monitors.

The board you linked is fine... so is the EVGA equivalent. I think you'd be wasting your money though, because those boards no where near as good as a $120 P45 board.
