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
EVGA 896-P3-1260-AR GeForce GTX 260 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail

and
ASUS P5Q-E LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131296


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
VisionTek 900244 Radeon HD 4870 512MB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Retail

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.
