I'll probably get flamed for this post... that's fine. I'll take the heat in hopes of genuine answers. And I claim to be no expert so feel free to just address me as "newb". I don't mind. On to the questions...
I read about dual SLI cards that work together to maximize video output. Is this possible with these cards? Hoping so that way I can buy a second one and have them work together but for how cheap it was I doubt it. But for the price it was a mile above the onboard card from what I can tell.
Now I know there's those brutally loyal to both AMD and Intel. And I've read a LOT of arguments over what's the best CPU. Feel free to argue, flame me, tell me to f off... whatever... but hopefully I'll get some serious reponses. What CPU would you recommend as the best (in your opinion) to put in this board? I want the fastest possible. So far I have the following CPU:
You cannot run SLi on that motherboard, and if you could it would not be worth it with that card, the CPU is fine though and runs quite well in an SLi rig.

A Lot of people have No idea what is good these days and buy the cheapest thing. It's sad really. I usually push the older folks to a 4650 because IMo it is the best card for 50 dollars on the market today

A lot of people buy a video card just based on the amount of memory.
They don't know anything about memory bandwidth or pipelines.
My first video card was a piece of **** but once I wasted my money on that one then I started doing a little research before buying, I'm no graphics expert but at least I try to get bang for buck.
BTW I have an old card right now (8600GT) but it does well what I need it to do so I'm going to change it until I replace my old Epox 570 SLI motherboard.

Well that's better than parting with coin and even though it was a prize, booty if you will, it should be buried in a very very deep hole, I'm talking below the Cretaceous period low, and then you can move on a do the dual gpu thing with two separate cards in two separate slots, the expensive way, the proper way.
