Hey all, new here.
Just looking for some answers right quick.
In about 4 weeks or so i'm going to start building my own PC.
I have a list of pretty much all the hardware i'll need.
however, i'm slightly confused over a certain aspect of the motherboard and PCI-E video cards.
The motherboard I plan to buy is an ASUS A8N-SLI Premium Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD
the video card i will be purchasin is a Geforce 6800GS 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16
what i'm confused about is the whole nForce4 SLI aspect of the motherboard, is that basically an on-board video card? because if it is wouldn't it be pointless in installing the 6800GS?
or would it be considered an upgrade? or.... would the two combine forces and create one super graphics card hehe j/k.
Any help VERY appreciated. Thanks.
