simply question really do you think i should get sli mobo or non sli mobo i do games but not of a gamer and i cant be arsed to buy 2 graphics cards ones enough but what about the future will sli be future proof or what, also sli mobos tend to have less pci slots than non sli mobos.
 
Well... I believe SLI will just be an option for those who are either rich or obsessed with having the best performance. For those of us without a huge budget, I think it's best to go with non-SLI. If you have, say, $400 to spend on a video card, you'd be better off buying one $400 card than 2 $200 cards because the $400 will most likely have newer and more advanced technology (such as pixel shader version and HDR lighting effects).
 
if you have the money then get it but only for the geforce 7800gt other wise buy the better card and it is better to have more pcie slot
 
well u can get an sli compatible mobo but you dont have to have 2 cards to work it. i have an sli mobo and the sli slot is a pci express slot x 2. i have one card (for now) and it works great, but when the time comes, i can upgrade this comp no problem by simply dropping in another card. with the sli mobo, your ready for future gaming.
 
For your case, you're probably better off saving your money and getting an NF4Ultra board
 
the Nforce 4 Ultra chipset is a Nforce 4 SLI chipset, just with 1 pci-e connection closed. or have i heard wrong on that one?
 
The new SLI technology renders the screen in two chunks, usually a 3 - 1 ration. The old SLI technology split the screen into ODD and EVEN lines. The DRIVER then re-joins
the CHUNKS/SCAN-LINES together to increase the FRAME-RATE.

Both types seem a waste of money to me. If you want to play a game without your screen flickering, turn all the crap off, and play the game. If you want to look at the scenery, take a walk in the country...
