SLI- is it worth the extra cost?

aldog967 · 01-03-2006, 01:50 AM

Hi. I'm looking for a mobo and I dunno if I should use NVIDIA nForce4 SLI or NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra. I'm not going to be building a monster computer to go into gaming, but the SLI is only about $10 more. Should I still get the SLI anyway? Thanx.

Since your not going into gaming stick with the non-SLI. With that extra 10bucks + tax you can buy some fans, BUT if your planning to overclock i think the SLI edition has some extra overclocking features...I dont see why you would overclock though, considering your not gaming. Anyways, stick with the non-sli.

sli is futureproof. when u want to upgrade in the future u can add another card and have a gaming machine to match the current day games.
