but I'd have to give up SLI , which might not be a bad idea.
Thanks StrangleHold but have a look at this . http://thisistech.org/2007/11/21/680i-chipset-will-only-support-dual-core-penryn-cpus/
From what I've heard the 780i is just a bios revision for 3 way SLI.
You're better off getting a 680i for less money when the 780i's come out.
Who knows though, the 7 series could be a surprise.
