I have not been following Motherboards for awhile, whats the best one for 2-Sli, decent Q6600 clocker, and under $200 if possible. And would the 9800GT be a decent choice?
Thank you much,
Kevin

that about sums it up, the nvidia chipsets are trash mostly. :(

dont buy one get a single card u can get a gx2 for $250 or a 260 for 285 with a 50 mir for a total of 235, sli isnt a good idea for non top of the line, and its not viable untill there are motherboards for it, and 2 9800gt are $330 and thats just stupid
since u like NV (i would go ati but whatever

i know that the board says xfire but that just emans that has 2 pci-e 8 or 16x and dosnt have an nv chipset it will work with 1 nv card
and i would sugest this card

My MSI P6N Diamond has been a gem since new and have not had any issues like others have mentioned with other nvidia based boards.
Going on 18 months now running overclocked 24/7.

With the price cuts ATI is not really that far ahead of Nvidia now, check out the article at HardOCP comparing the GTX260 to the 4870. Pretty much a wash with respect to both price and performance. Nothing wrong with going Nvidia, but I would agree that the Intel mobos seem to be much more stable and less prone to failure.
