Mobo for SLI?

What does it not include if it is OEM???

The manual and the Motherboard MAP? Is it hard without the map to where everything is. If this is the first build?

The manual and driver cd would always come along with the board. It just may be seen coming in the inner box without the outer retail packaging and maybe without the one or two ide cables.
 
the SATA cables, the PCI-backplates (USB and firewire etc) wouldnt come with it either.. I would never buy a motherboard OEM tbh,.. i prefer retail =)
 
fellas:


the diff between OEM and retail is = WARRANTY

retail is full coverage

OEM is almost no warranty maybeeeee 30 days if you are lucky


check intel website OEM processor is day Zero Warranty Retail= 3-years

Actually I spoke with newegg and they said that it was just the motherboard itself. I would quote them but I closed the window:rolleyes:
 
On OEM processors its mainly true, but that because its an out of the box product. Usually you get the full warranty on stuff like HDD's, RAM and motherboards. altough, ofcourse that also depends on the shop :)
 
Well Im definetly not going with OEM. New memory has been picked out CORSAIR XMS2 which looks very good. Hooked up with eVGA GeForce 7900GTO Is all this a good buy and also compatible?

All I need now is a Mobo for SLI in case he wants to add another card later.

The one that PCEye Recommended was a good price but too many bad reviews. I would freak out if I got a blue screen. :D

When going back and looking for SLI boards specifically the only boards they had at all were either the other Asus models you didn't want or an ECS model seen at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813135026 The board posted there that will run DDR2 675 only has one PCI-E slot so that leaves that one out. SLI has to be part of the name when looking over different models. Newegg seems to be cleaned out at the moment for that.
