So uhm, I'm building a new pc, getting a gtx 260 with the 750i motherboard, and maybe planning to upgrade to ATI cards later, not sure.

Just wanna know that if I only run one GPU on the board, it doesn't matter if it's SLI or Crossfire certified, right?

Thanks guys

That's right. However, if you have no intention on going SLI, then get an Intel chipset motherboard. Overall, they are better.

It's a trade off. While I prefer nVidia GPU's, currently the ATI GPU's give more performance for the dollar. What you spend on an Intel chipset, you will save on the graphics cards.

Hey fanboy, no, they don't. Especially true if you only need 1 pcie x16 slot. Check newegg's prices on p45 boards vs 750i or other nvidia boards.
