no, not necessarily, my mobo only has a 400mhz ram and it plays very well. one thing you need to tell us is what do you want on it? (ex: agp/pci-e, intel/amd, micro atx/atx)

the chipset in the motherboard isnt going to make the graphics better thats dealing with the video card.

The motherboard chip does not make your graphics any better That depends on your video card. As far as SLI you have to have a nvidia chipset board and nvidia video cards that are SLI, the same with crossfire with ATI
