what's wrong with the abit AV8
|
It uses the VIA chipset. Just like my board.

NF4 sli is a waste of money until they invent a 16x16 SLI capable board
|
Which is why I suggested NF4U. If you stop and think about it 16x16 is useless for the foreseeable future considering AGP8X isnt really tested and AGP4X isnt a serious handicap.

plus most games don't support sli

Yeah, the drivers support SLI. Games are independent

and I dont plan on having 4 drives in raid since I cant afford it and I cant afford two graphics cards either

Two 6600GTs in SLI will outperform a 6800Ultra. And cost roughly the price of the 6800GT (you do need to do your homework there though)

other than that whats wrong with the board?

Via chipset. And im quite serious (considering ive got one). You said you dont care for SLI .... but you evidently want PCIe, so get the NF4U as I suggested -- if you get the DFI board its possible to get a perfect mod to NF4SLI so you double the value there for nothin ... and even if you dont you can still run it in mock SLI mode and even if you decide not to do that the NF4U is a superior chipset

If there's something I should know please tell me I dont want to waste $1500 bucks

Ya the chipset is horrible -- ok that might be a bit over the top ... its not bad -- if you want to use your computer. If you want the most performance (OC or otherwise) out of the box then its not the ideal platform
