This is the video card I plan on getting...
Newegg.com - EVGA 512-P3-N801-AR GeForce 8800GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail
I am now trying to find the right mobo for the job. I plan on eventually upgrading to 2 of those vid cards using SLI. My question comes down to compatibility... that video card is listed as PCI Express 2.0 x16. Does that mean it will only be compatible with mobos listed at PCI Express 2.0 x16 or will just x16 ones work? I don't know too much on the subject..
Also, if anyone would like to recommend a motherboard, feel free! I am after an intel board that can house Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Quad-Core Processor - Retail and my 2x cards. Thanks!
