Which is all around a better board... Pros/Cons
Asus P5N32-SLI Deluxe
Asus P5WD2-P

I have the Asus P5WD2-P with a 830D processor, Nice but I want to use the SLI feature for my two eVga 7800 gt 256 video cards.

Or should I just keep the Asus P5WD2-P and upgrade to the eVga 7800 GTX 512

I am not sure which route to take.

Thanks for your thoughts...
 
The 7800gtx 512 generally will have better scores than two 7800gt's, if you want to sli, and have the money for one 512 get that, save up a while more than buy another 7800gtx 512

You may want to get the one of the bottom so aftermark cooling because it's gonna real hot with that other 7800gtx 512 breathing down its neck.

I dissagree turtle I like AMD better but I know Intel makes the better product and can carry more power ever try encoding and encrypting on a Pentium conpaired to an AMD. I buy AMDs even though they can't compair with Intel's because of the noticable price difference.

So what. If hes going to Game We will tell him AMD, if all hes gonna do is encode, we say Intel, but no CPU is the champ over each other.

Really? Intel makes the better product? More heat, more power (in volts), and less reliability is better? No, they don't carry more power either, Thats why AMD made their naming scheme.
