Already started ordering the parts today, want to make sure that:
1) there are no issues with compatibility
2) advice on build/bios setup
3) experience/advice or wisdom on setting up a dual-boot with this mobo; that can use seperate Nvidia cards/drivers I might throw some GeForce SLI gaming hardware in there for "break time"?
Thanks!
