That's a good one and so is this:

If you want an SLI board, I would recommend this one. It has the most space between the 2 graphics cards than the rest of the SLI boards (2 pci slots worth). Allows for better airflow which = cooler everything.

wow..see i heard good things about the MSI,but now i might go with the asus i have to do some reading first...one more thing do you think that SLI is the way to go

For anything graphics intensive I'd say SLI is the way to go. I decided to get an SLI board so I could have the option of doing SLI or not. I'm not limitted to just one graphics card, but I also don't have to spend all that money on a second card if I don't want (but believe me, I want to ).
