This says its ati based.

does that mean i can't use an evga or xfx card?

You can, it's just pretty pointless to get a Crossfire board and put nVidia cards on it

 

[Norcent]

ok that brings me to my next ?

Where do you purchase that thing to connect both graphics cards to use sli?

 

[goblue14]

get a sli one if you are going with a nvidia card, then in a couple months you can put in the other card.

The board uses an ATI chipset that uses ATI's Crossfire... If you are planning on using NVIDIA cards in SLI, It won't work on this board.

how about this board?

I want to use nvidia sli or evga sli i don't know yet.

 

[goblue14]

it will work, but try for an am2 bored if its a new build, if your switching boards, then your fine.

 

[Norcent]

yeah i am just swithin boards.

I would sell my processor and get an am2 but i can't find anybody that will buy it.

What is so good about am2?

 

[Norcent]

well i just e-mailed my friend so hopefully he says he will buy my amd athlon 64 3500+, 2gb for $200.

I told him i spent $200 on the ram and $200 on the cpu cause i did.

If i get $200 from him for that i will upgrade to am2 cause i didn't order a board yet.

My motherboard came with the connector strip, linking my graphics cards for Sli. I got this mobo:
